Mr. Speaker, as everyone in the chamber knows, Canada is suffering from an increase in crime because of the way the Liberal government changed the laws, particularly around bail, and weakened statutes, along with other ways that have made it easier for criminals to stay out of jail.
We have to be very careful about crime and to not do anything to potentially increase it. That is why I am very concerned that this bill has no provision for any kind of security check on the new citizenship that it would create. That does not make any sense. It is not the same standard that we apply to others who are given citizenship.
We need to be extremely cautious and careful about not checking backgrounds and not checking for convictions and things like that. It is very important to do that and make those changes in the bill.
