Mr. Speaker, our priorities are clear. We are going to axe the tax, build the homes, fix the budget and stop crime. When it comes to stopping crime, the Prime Minister is throwing on a cape and claiming to be a big hero on auto theft, but since he brought in catch-and-release and Netflix sentences for car thieves, auto theft has risen by 30%, and that is not to mention the mismanagement of our ports. Will he reverse the policies that caused the auto theft crisis instead of holding another meeting?

Mr. Speaker, this is a serious situation. Canadians are concerned about this, and the Conservative leader just chooses to whip out his empty slogans and continue to blame everyone while we are getting to work. We are pulling together stakeholders and leaders from across governments to look at what more we can do. We have seen successes. CBSA agents intercepted over 1,600 stolen cars last year, in 2023, but there is more to do. We are going to continue to do the steady work and to make investments necessary to keep Canadians safe and to keep crime down.

Mr. Speaker, he says that he would keep crime down. Crime is way up. Violent crime is up 40% under the Prime Minister. Today, he had his ministers hold a big press conference as their solution. In it, they put out a press release that said, “In 2022, approximately 9,600 vehicles were stolen in the Toronto area alone, representing a 300% increase since 2015”. What happened in 2015? I know; he happened. How can we make him unhappen and stop the crime?

Mr. Speaker, wow, is the Prime Minister ever losing control of himself. My goodness, he is screaming and hollering like that. It is his press release that says that, in Toronto, auto thefts are up 300% since he took office. His solution is to hold a summit. He held a summit on food prices, and food prices went up. He held a summit on housing, and housing costs doubled. How much is crime going to rise after all of the bigwigs go to his summit?

Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister needs a summit to find out about the problem of auto theft. We can help him. He is the problem. His policies caused the 300% increase in auto theft in Toronto. He has asked for solutions. Well, we have some of those, too. Will the Prime Minister agree to reverse his catch-and-release bail policy for car thieves, end house arrest for those who steal cars and put an end to his incompetence at the Port of Montreal, from which so many of our vehicles are being shipped to organized crime and terrorist networks abroad?

Mr. Speaker, he is the one accusing Quebeckers of incompetence when he says that they are in charge of managing the Port of Montreal. That is not true. The Port of Montreal is a federal port. He is the incompetent one, and the one who caused the problem. The same thing is happening at every port in Canada. The federal ports are mismanaged because of him. That is one of the reasons why we have this crime rate. We have common-sense solutions. Will he put a stop to automatic releases and Netflix sentences, and will he restore competent management to all our ports across the country to prevent the auto theft crisis that he caused?

Mr. Speaker, I have already addressed auto theft concerns, but the Leader of the Opposition wants to talk about common sense when it comes to crime and violence. Why, then, is he going along with the American gun lobby, which wants to put assault weapons back on our streets and in our communities? For eight years, he has tried to block our gun control measures at every turn, because he is a puppet of the American right. He does that instead of standing up to protect communities, control firearms and show that he really cares about the safety of Canadians.

Mr. Speaker, there is more stumbling and bumbling. The guns he talked about are not banned, and he says they will not be banned until one week after the next election because he cannot figure how to ban them years after he announced it. Meanwhile, he is spending billions of dollars going after licensed, law-abiding, trained and tested people, who have proven they are statistically the least likely to commit crime, and what has been the consequence? In eight years, we have had a 100% increase in criminal shootings. Why does he always go after the good guys instead of putting the bad guys in jail?
