Mr. Speaker, it is always a pleasure to rise on behalf of the people of Kamloops—Thompson—Nicola. Just yesterday, I had a phone call from a constituent who talked about crime. This is somebody I have known for a long time. He said that after a worker was assaulted, he literally cannot find workers.
The member talks about speaking to students about my bill, which he referenced, on intimate partner violence and says that it should be passed quickly. I agree that it should be passed quickly.
I want a yes or no answer to this. I will pay for the member to come to my riding. We will go to a law school and discuss it; we will walk in the streets of Kamloops—Thompson—Nicola to look at crime, and he can tell us whether it is out of control. It is my time, my dime: Will he take me up on it, yes or no?
