“Mr. Speaker, when I was last speaking, I was talking about the irrefutable fact that, since 2015, when the Liberal government took power, we have seen skyrocketing rates of crime. That is due to some deliberate actions that the government took.”
“What are the results? Since 2015, human trafficking has increased by 84%. Sexual assaults are up by 76%. Violent crime is up by almost 55%. My home province of New Brunswick is not immune to this skyrocketing crime.”

“Mr. Speaker, Atlantic Canadians are suffering under a Liberal government that has allowed housing costs to double and housing inflation to rise faster in Canada than in any other G7 country. In Halifax, homelessness has doubled in just the last two years. Over 1,100 people in the city are homeless, and 123 of those, at least, are children. These children do not want more government bureaucracy; they want a place to call home. When will the Prime Minister understand that doing more of the same is actually going to make the problem worse?”
