Mr. Speaker, yesterday Abbotsford residents woke to the news of yet another shooting linked to extortion in our communities. Far too many families and businesses across the region have been affected. Under the Liberal's soft-on-crime policies, extortion has risen over 500% in B.C. alone. In my community, 100 shootings have been linked to extortion.
Why do the Liberals block our request for an emergency debate? When will the Prime Minister finally get serious about extortion?
