Mr. Speaker, I rise to present a petition signed by over 800 people, primarily from my home province of British Columbia but also from right across Canada, who are concerned that, since 2014 violent crime has increased by 38% and gang-related homicides has increased by 126%. Petitioners are concerned about the lack of regulations regarding the use of drugs in public places, about repeat offenders and catch-and-release policies. They are calling on the government to implement regulations and laws to protect the citizens and to reverse soft-and-crime catch-and-release policies.
