“We are funding safety programs to fight gun violence and crime. I want the Minister of Public Safety to explain what we are doing to keep Canadians safe.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to rise on behalf of the good people of Scarborough Southwest. Our government has now made strategic investments into public safety programs across Canada. Initiatives like the building safer communities fund help combat new and old threats to safety and security, including gun violence, youth crime, violent extremism and more. Can the Minister of Public Safety outline for us the work that he and our government are doing to keep people in Scarborough and across Canada safe?

Mr. Speaker, I welcome my friend from Scarborough Southwest to this House. Through the building safer communities fund, we are tackling gun violence and youth crime and supporting victims through organizations across Canada, including in her riding of Scarborough Southwest. We have also introduced several measures to keep Canadians safe. This includes tougher bail laws, lawful access measures to help police protect Canadians, hiring 1,000 new CBSA and RCMP personnel, and measures to address hate and protect places of worship.
