Mr. Speaker, there has been a nearly 40% increase in fraud since 2021, and the Liberals clearly have failed to protect Canadians. The scams disproportionately impact seniors, and they cost people millions of dollars. One senior in my riding, Peggy, is selling her house after losing her life's savings to a phone scam. We urgently need better policies and regulations, including improved safeguards, more education campaigns and better enforcement. Why is the government failing to protect vulnerable Canadians from increasing levels of fraud?
