Madam Speaker, to me it is rich when I hear the secretary of state across the way say it is a “new government”. The Liberals have been in government for the last decade, and under their watch, crime waves have gone across the country.
This is from Dawson Creek, the small town where I was born in northern B.C.: “The City of Dawson Creek recognizes that there has been an increase in shootings in our community over the last few weeks.” This is a rural town where normally shootings are something we never see. We are seeing it in Fort Nelson. We are seeing it in Prince George, as my colleague from Cariboo—Prince George has already said.
I just think it is rich that you would say that you are a “new government”. In 10 years, you had a chance to fix things.
