Mr. Speaker, my colleague commented that he does not know anyone who is living in fear day by day. I urge my colleague to come to B.C. to see what we face in our Lower Mainland communities, because this issue is real, and it is alive. There were 36 extortion cases in January, just since the new year. It is insane.
What we are dealing with is an extortion crisis. It needs to be dealt with now, not yesterday. That is why we are urging the government to vote for this motion, agree with us and collaborate. Let us work together.
