Mr. Speaker, once again, we see a return to the failed Stephen Harper, tough-on-crime policies that do not work. Mandatory minimums struck down by the Supreme Court do not work. What has worked is increasing the number of scanners, after Stephen Harper's government cut them; increasing investments in policing and AI to process and discover containers that have cars in them, to crack down on auto theft; and stepping up with science and solutions, instead of just flailing around and using the same failed Harper playbook.

Madam Speaker, they have had nine years; all we hear is talk and no action. Here is a quote from the chief of the London Police Service: “Diverted safe supply is being resold into our community. It's being trafficked into [our] communities, and it is being used as currency in exchange for fentanyl, fuelling the drug trade.” They are funding organized crime. My very simple question for the government is this: Will it finally end its catch-and-release laws that let the criminals cause chaos on our streets and invest in treatment, so we can bring our loved ones home drug-free?
