Replying to Danielle Martin (Liberal)

“Mr. Speaker, violent crime in Toronto has reached historic lows, with homicides and shootings declining significantly over the past two years. In fact, across Canada, homicides decreased by 125 in 2025 compared to 2024, which is the largest year-over-year decline in nearly 40 years. While there is more work to do, these results matter. Can the Minister of Public Safety update the House on the actions our government has taken to contribute to this decline?”
