Mr. Speaker, when it comes to asylum seekers, the Liberals are laughing at Quebeckers. Not only has the Liberal government yet to reimburse the $470 million it has owed Quebeckers since 2021, but to top it off, it plans to give Toronto $143 million to house future asylum seekers while allocating only $100 million for the whole of Quebec. This file has been nothing but one injustice after another. Ottawa is not reimbursing what it already owes Quebec, and now Quebec will not even get its fair share for the future. Enough is enough. The Liberals have made fools of Quebeckers long enough. Where is our $470 million?

Mr. Speaker, that great relationship exists only in his imagination. Toronto got $143 million to house future asylum seekers, but all of Quebec got only $100 million. On top of that, none of Quebec's demands have been met: The $470 million debt has not been repaid, there is no plan to distribute newcomers across the provinces, and there is no visa requirement for Mexicans, no promise to process claimants' files more quickly, no commitment to approving work permits within reasonable timeframes, no one answering the call when the Liberals are asked to do their job. They are always there to lecture, but never there to work. When are they going to wake up?

Mr. Speaker, after eight years of the NDP-Liberal government, it pays to commit crime in Canada. Stolen cars now cost Canadians over $1 billion a year in insurance rates. Car thefts are up 300% in Toronto. That is thanks to the catch-and-release legislation that turns violent offenders loose onto the streets, allowing them to commit more crime. When will the Liberals reverse their disastrous policies and put the bad guys in jail so that Canadians can keep their cars?
