Mr. Speaker, I understand my colleague's question. However, he may be conflating different issues.
The issue of extortion, as addressed in Bill C-14, is important. However, from what I read, the Conservatives' request for an emergency debate does not specifically target extortion itself; rather, it focuses on the fact that the government is letting people with a known criminal past into the country and that those people are then committing crimes here.
Members may or may not agree with the substance of the Conservatives' request, but I think these are two different issues that need to be looked at separately. We do need specific sanctions for extortion crimes, but we also have to consider the fact that people who may be more likely to commit such crimes are being let into the country.
