“Police arrested 17 people from a criminal network that targeted the South Asian community with violent extortion. The police want the House to pass this bill on lawful access to help them stop crimes like this.”
“Mr. Speaker, I want to acknowledge the excellent work of Peel Regional Police in collaboration with the OPP, CBSA, FINTRAC and the FBI, which announced the arrest of 17 individuals connected to an international criminal network. This network is responsible for violent extortion targeting the South Asian community across Canada. The operation dismantled a campaign involving 24 incidents, resulting in 106 charges. Extortion and intimidation will never be tolerated in Canada. That is why the Peel Police and others have asked for Bill C-22, on lawful access, to be passed by the House.”
