Mr. Speaker, for 10 years we have heard the Liberals make excuses and blame others while Canadians continue to live in fear as criminals threaten their families, businesses and communities. Serious non-citizen offenders are exploiting loopholes in the refugee system to stay in the country, leaving Canadians vulnerable. Will the Liberals finally work with us to pass this motion to ban these [more]
Oxford Mr. Speaker, that is completely false. We have brought forward legislation to stop this extortion threat. A couple of years ago, I brought forward a private member's bill that would have brought in mandatory minimum sentences for extortion. The Liberals voted against it. My colleague frombrought in the jail not bail act, which we tried to fast-forward, but the Liberals blocked it. We tried [more]

Mr. Speaker, extortion is out of control in this country. Small business owners are being threatened, firebombed and shot at. They are living in fear, and many are contemplating leaving this country, yet the Liberal government refuses to take this crisis seriously. Some of these criminals, who should be deported, are now exploiting the refugee system with false claims in order to stay in Canada. [more]
Mr. Speaker, what we see from the Liberals over and over again is more photo ops and more press conferences. They have had summits, meetings and discussions across the country. What we do not see is what they have actually done. There has been no action. They said before the summer that they would hire 1,000 new RCMP officers. After the summer, we asked them in the fall how many of those have [more]
