Mr. Speaker, extortion is up 357%. Let us take, for example, the Lehmanns in Mission. Last year, they lost $300,000 to this heinous crime. While their lives were completely destabilized, the criminal never served a day in jail but got nine months of house arrest, and probation.
The Liberals rejected our common-sense extortion bill in the last Parliament, which would have reinstated mandatory minimums. Why will they not stand with Canadians and reverse their disastrous policies?
