Mr. Speaker, it is important that, yes, we bring the emotion of our constituents to this place. We have to be able to tell stories about the experiences on the ground, but we also have to stay rooted in statistics and facts. If we get beyond that, where do we go? Where does the debate go? It becomes tribalism.
In our province, and my position is very clear, our government is going to be introducing stricter bail conditions. We are going to be introducing stronger sentencing provisions for repeat violent offenders. We think this is extremely important.
Again, the nuance of the conversation is that we need the provinces on board. Those are conversations that are being had with Premier Houston in our community. The statistics I had available and provided today are directly from the authorities of the policing agency in Toronto. I think we all need to look at the relevant statistics. This is a nuance. We want to make sure there are policies across the country that matter. However, there are more acute challenges with crime in certain areas of this country, particularly in the GTA, that we need to tackle.
