Mr. Speaker, I rise to draw attention to a serious issue in Fleetwood—Port Kells. With the number of extortion cases on the rise, I met with constituents who shared their concerns about extortion and intimidation in Surrey. No one should live in fear for their safety or their livelihood. These acts undermine trust, threaten community well-being and place strain on those who are trying to build a better life.
I want my constituents to know that their voices have been heard. Addressing extortion requires strong co-operation between government and community leaders. I will continue working to support community safety and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
