Mr. Speaker, families in my riding are forced to buy security systems and cameras for their home because they are afraid of their cars being stolen or their home being broken into. Intimate partner violence is on the rise, and so is human trafficking.
We need to do more to put our communities first. Parents should feel safe letting their kids walk to school. Seniors should be able to take the bus without fear. Small business owners should not have to worry about being robbed. We need to empower our first responders and keep repeat violent offenders off our streets so our communities can once again feel safe.
