Mr. Speaker, I attended the public safety forum in Surrey this weekend. I have to say that I felt like we were living in a violent video game: the Reflections banquet hall, shot up; Hub Insurance, shot up; strip mall, shot up. Now, in Fleetwood, an honest businessman was gunned down in his office in broad daylight, which was possibly tied to extortion. The message from these criminals is clear: “Pay up or your family will pay the price.” What is the government doing? It has wasted hundreds of millions going after licensed gun owners while gangsters roam free.
Will the Liberals commit to protecting Canadians from violent extortionists?
