Mr. Speaker, I rise for the fifth time to table a petition on behalf of the residents of Abbotsford—South Langley regarding extortion. Our community is deeply concerned about the increasing prevalence of organized crime, extortion, shootings and intimidation in our community. This new year has seen more extortion cases than the number of days that have passed. Recent daylight shootings, homicides and other violent incidents underscore a broader systemic public safety crisis in our country.
The petitioners mourn the tragic death of Darshan Singh Sahsi. These residents call on the Government of Canada to reinforce the process of public reporting so Canadians can clearly see how the federal and provincial governments and local municipalities are working together to prevent further increases in violent and organized crime.
