Madam Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise on behalf of the people of Kamloops—Thompson—Nicola. I thank my hon. colleague from Brantford—Brant South—Six Nations for his very compelling intervention.
The question I have for my hon. colleague is the same one I asked the Minister of Justice, but I do not feel we got a satisfactory answer. In their 10 years of government, with Bill C-5, the Liberals legislated that people who do drive-by shootings and extortion with a firearm can serve their sentences on house arrest.
Why is it that we are not addressing the ferocious gun crime? We have seen extortion go up over 300%. Why are we not addressing this? That is what is killing people, among other things.
