Mr. Speaker, first of all, I congratulate the Deputy Speaker on his new role.
My colleague across mentioned public safety. I think he is right. It is an issue that we have been hearing about right across our country. Under their government, under their Liberal watch, we have seen violent crime, extortion and auto theft go up. That is unacceptable. Our Conservative team has brought forward bills to crack down on auto theft and extortion. Can members guess what happened? The Lliberals voted against those measures. We have had the support of frontline police officers, mayors and premiers who are asking for bail reform.
Instead, the government has been targeting lawful, law-abiding gun owners, who are carrying out the great Canadian traditions, instead of going after the repeat violent offenders who target our communities. In Oxford county, I heard loud and clear that seniors do not feel safe. Families do not feel safe. Kids do not want to go out at night to play basketball on the streets. That is unacceptable.
Will the government finally crack down on criminals, put repeat violent offenders behind bars and bring back safe streets for all Canadians?
