Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Public Safety just received a letter from the Surrey police today. I would like to quote it:
Surrey is one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada.... What we are now facing—a significant extortion crisis that has emerged in just a few short years—demands swift, decisive, and collective action. No Canadian should live in fear....
It says, “We therefore respectfully request an urgent meeting [between] City of Surrey, local federal and provincial leadership, and senior leadership from all over the Lower Mainland”.
This is a crisis that has not been dealt with, and this is from the Surrey police.
