Mr. Speaker, the member made reference to a quote. I want to go right to that quote.
I have heard a couple of what I would classify as weird comments from Conservatives today. The first one I heard was when the MP for Cariboo—Prince George made this statement: “in my riding, 98% of the crime is created by five or six prolific offenders. When they are in jail, the crime rate goes down.” Then, as the member made reference, there was a quote by the member for Oxford that we are “now living in a war zone in Canada.” How ridiculous a comment that is to make.
This is a type of behaviour that we often see from the Conservative Party. They take these extreme positions. I would argue that they are using the issue of crime and safety in our communities—
