Mr. Speaker, violent crime in Canada has increased by 32% since the Prime Minister took over. Gang-related homicides have increased by 92%, and this is happening here in Canada. Many women have tragically fallen victim to the violence, and violent crime is raging out of control in our cities. Some women are afraid to take the train. On June 17, a Toronto woman in her twenties died of her injuries as she was brutally set on fire while taking public transit. On December 8, a 31-year-old woman was fatally stabbed on a Line 2 train at High Park Station. Crime rates continue to rise, and women continue to be targeted. The government has had eight years, and under the Prime Minister violent crime is rising. For the protection of women and children, I implore the Prime Minister to take responsibility, protect our communities and reform our bail system.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Brampton North for her hard work. Last week I was immensely pleased to be able to visit Toronto's Xanadu Quantum Technologies Incorporated. Through our federal investment, its new quantum computing project is expected to create 530 new highly skilled positions. Whether it is projects like the one at Xanadu, or those of the companies I visited across the country, whose workers are building electric vehicles and batteries, we are creating and securing well-paying jobs that will help grow the Canadian economy for all Canadians.
