Mr. Speaker, Canadians have been expressing their concerns about auto theft over the past year and have asked for solutions. We took their concerns to heart and we took action. We updated the Criminal Code and provided funding to law enforcement through budget 2024 and our national action plan on combatting auto theft. Can the Minister of Justice outline some of the progress we have made in protecting communities with regard to this issue?

Mr. Speaker, in the first six months of this year, vehicle theft in Quebec decreased by 36% compared to last year. This improvement came after we increased penalties, introduced new offences and allocated funds for border and police forces. After the last Conservative government's budget cuts for ports, we are pleased that things are getting back to normal. We will continue to work for Quebeckers and for everyone in Canada.
