“Canadians face strict airport screening, but staff say serious threats can still get through. Security failures here have caused Canadians to be detained in other countries. The Minister of Transport needs to admit this puts people in danger and apologize to those who were harmed.”

“Mr. Speaker, when Canadians go through airport security, they submit to invasive screening. Medical implants are flagged. Personal items are confiscated. They are even emptying their baby bottles, yet a worker at Pearson says someone could bring a cruise missile through without detection. Canadians have already been detained abroad because of security failures here at home. Will the part-time Minister of Transport admit that these failures put Canadians at risk and apologize to those whose lives and reputations have already been harmed by his inaction?”

“Pearson airport has serious security gaps. Will the government run security audits at every major airport in Canada and share the results with Parliament?”

“Mr. Speaker, who is minding business at Pearson right now? That answer of 1,000 members someday is not going to work. If these gaps exist at Pearson, our largest airport, why would Canadians believe they do not exist somewhere else? Will the Liberal government commit, yes or no, to conducting the same security audits at every major airport in Canada and tabling those findings here in Parliament for all Canadians to see? If they will not, is it because this part-time Minister of Transport has no idea how bad it is, or does he just have no idea of what to do?”

“Violent criminals in my riding were quickly released and had their charges dropped after running over an elderly man. I want the Prime Minister to care more about victims than criminals.”

“Mr. Speaker, in the fall of 2024, a senior in Prince George returned home to find his house being ransacked and robbed. When he tried to stop the perpetrators, they ran over him, dragged him down the road and left him for dead. They were caught later that day and released just hours later. The victim’s family has just been informed that the charges against the perpetrators have been dropped. They left him for dead, and they got off scot-free. When will the Liberal Prime Minister finally put victims before criminals?”

“Violent criminals were let go after nearly killing a senior citizen. Liberal policies are not holding criminals accountable. I want the Prime Minister to call this victim and explain why his attackers are free.”

“Mr. Speaker, the victim was run over, dragged down a road and left for dead, and the perpetrators are off scot-free. The victim now lives in fear that they are going to finish the job. He suffered broken ribs, flail chest and brain damage. He needed facial reconstruction surgery, and the perpetrators are free to do this again. Under the Liberals, criminals face zero accountability. Canadians are fed up, and that is the government’s legacy. Will the Prime Minister stand up today to commit to calling this senior, who is afraid for his life, and explain to him and his family why the perpetrators are off scot-free?”
