Government Orders
Mr. Speaker, we have to prioritize safety. We know violent offenders keep repeating crimes in our communities, societies and neighbourhoods. We have to ensure, every step of the way, that each Canadian has the right to live without fear and without having to face any sort of criminal situation. Auto thefts are increasing, violent crime is up, and house invasions are up. We have to protect Canadian…

Mr. Speaker, I keep saying that we have to provide safety and should not be using excuses, whether it is the federal, provincial or municipal government. We need to work toward safety and to protect Canadians from violent criminals, who are creating problems in Canadians' lives every single day. These are the excuses that the Liberal government is making: that the Ontario government or any other p…

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised to fix the broken bail system, but he left for summer vacation without delivering, and he returns to Parliament still empty-handed. Let me share with members how bad the crime waves are in Brampton and across Canada: Violent crime is up 55%, gun crime is up 130%, hate crimes are up 258%, extortion is up 350%, and overdoses are tearing through our neighbourh…

Mr. Speaker, Peel Regional Police busted an extortion ring. Unfortunately, of the 18 arrested, almost half were on a form of judicial release at the time of arrest. Under the Liberal government, extortion cases are up by almost 400%. Bill C-381, introduced by Conservatives, would have given law enforcement officers the tools they require to go after extortionists. When will the Liberals stand with…

Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House with a heavy heart following the heartbreaking crash of an Air India flight en route to London. My heart goes out to the victims, their families and all those impacted by the devastating tragedy. In that same spirit of reflection, I wish to honour the legacy of Peter Robertson, a dedicated public servant, educator and pillar of the Brampton community. Mayor Roberts…

Mr. Speaker, under the Liberal government, crime is at its peak and cities like Brampton are being hit hard. Peel police had the single largest drug bust in its history, but six out of nine drug dealers were out on bail. Gun crime is up 116%. Gang homicide is up 78%. The only solution to control the crime wave is to repeal the soft-on-crime Liberal laws Bill C-5 and Bill C-75 and put repeat violen…

Mr. Speaker, I said in my speech that I came as an immigrant. I understand the importance of immigration for the country. I know what immigrants bring to the country. I also agree that we have to be united and strong together. Once we are united and strong, we can have immigration policies that benefit all of Canada. We are in a position where we can be the envy of the world when we start unleashi…

Mr. Speaker, crime was the number one issue when I was campaigning in Brampton West. People are really living their lives in fear. People are not going out. When they come to their driveways with their cars, they look left, right and centre before they enter their houses. This is a very big problem, and the Liberals have not done anything to make it better. Let us start working on that issue, and …

Mr. Speaker, that is a wonderful question. I know that he is concerned about crime as well, and this gives me the sense that if we work together, we will achieve certain things. Let me tell members who is not strengthening the laws. The leadership has to come from the top to the bottom. We are in a position where we can strengthen the laws. We can ask our provincial counterparts and our municipali…

Mr. Speaker, soft-on-crime Liberal bills, such as Bill C-5 and Bill C-75, have unleashed crime waves in Brampton and across our country. Violent crime is up 50%. Auto theft is up 50%, and extortion is up 400%. The out-of-touch public safety minister said, during his campaign, that there was nothing wrong with the bail system. Repeat offenders should be in jail, not out on bail. Does the Prime Mini…
