Mr. Speaker, taking this seriously would mean telling us whether any ministers were elected because of foreign interference, yes or no. Meanwhile, there is also the matter of crime. Over the past nine years under this government, the crime rate has gone up in Canada, particularly in urban centres. In Laval, the crime rate is over 10%. In Montreal, 112,000 offences were committed. Unfortunately, crime is not going away. The other problem is that criminals can serve their sentence at home, rather than in prison, thanks to Bill C‑5 that was passed. Members will recall, sadly, that the Bloc Québécois supported Bill C‑5. When will the government take real action to ensure that criminals serve their sentence behind bars rather than at home?

Mr. Speaker, the member also knows that this government has been cracking down on crime across the country by making substantial reforms. When it comes to crime, we obviously support our police forces, the provinces and the municipalities, which overall are fully committed to fighting crime, including auto theft. We will not take any lessons from the Conservative Party when it comes to fighting crime. The Conservatives have no policy on crime, but we do.
