Mr. Speaker, the policies of the Liberal government have led to this: on Saturday, another stabbing death on the TTC in Toronto. A sixteen-year-old boy was murdered. On Sunday, a 37-year-old man was stabbed to death at a Starbucks in Vancouver. On Monday, a police officer was killed in Quebec while responding to a call. On Tuesday, a teenage girl was shot to death in a car in Calgary. Today, a woman was stabbed and severely injured on a train in Calgary. Violent crime is up 32% as a result of the Liberals' catch-and-release policy. What is it going to take? How many people have to die before they step up and fix it?

Mr. Speaker, the Liberal minister can make up whatever stories he wants, but the proof of the priority, or lack of priority, on fighting violent crime is in black and white in the Liberals' budget. There was not one mention of fighting violent crime in the budget yesterday. It is not a priority for the Liberals. The reality is if Canadians want repeat violent offenders out of our communities, the Liberal government is the very last government that is going to do it. Its eight-year record of catch-and-release policies proves that. Is that not right? It is never going to fix this and it is only going to make it worse. Is that not right?
