Adjournment Proceedings

An adjournment debate on extortion and gang violence, raised by Conservative MP Tamara Jansen regarding her Surrey–Cloverdale community. She said families are being threatened by gunfire and extortion, and called for stricter bail rules, mandatory minimum sentences, real jail time for repeat offenders, and deportation of non-citizens who commit serious crimes. Parliamentary Secretary Ryan Turnbull replied that the government has brought forward two bills on extortion, including the Bail and Sentencing Reform Act, which tighten bail for violent extortion-related offences and toughen penalties for recruiting youth into crime. He said the House passed these bills and asked Conservatives, including in the Senate, to stop delaying them. Jansen pressed again on why the government was not acting sooner, and Turnbull said the government worked with police associations and community groups on the legislation.Written by AI from the debate.
