Mr. Speaker, there are so many stories from across the country, and I have met so many of these victims, from Brampton, Surrey, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg and right across the country. I have heard from business owners, many of whom say they came to this country to build a better life for themselves and their families but now are actually thinking about leaving this country because they do not feel safe. I have talked to kids who say they have not been able to go to school because their family is under threat; their family is hiding. Obviously it has a very, very serious effect on children as well. I have talked to families who are now living in their basement. They do not live upstairs because the upstairs might get shot at, so for weeks and months now, they have been living in their basement because their lives are under threat. Many of these families are in hotels. This has completely uprooted Canadian families, and unfortunately, the Liberals have yet to take real action on this.
