Mr. Speaker, when we want to talk about the position of the Premier of British Columbia when it comes to our criminal justice reform agenda, I would advise the hon. member that the premier did not just support the legislation; he asked if he could join us for a press conference to celebrate the achievements of that legislation.
If the member is interested in doing more to combat extortion, he could help accelerate the bail and sentencing reform act, which tightens bail for violent extortion and hardens sentences for offenders. He could support the strong borders act. Patrick Brown, the Mayor of Brampton, asked me to pass a message to the Conservatives that the Peel Regional Police want lawful access in this country so they can bust extortion rings, not just to punish bad actors after a crime is committed but to stop them in the first instance.
