Technology has advanced since then. He also said that his new government is laser-focused on crime. I would like to point out that the government is not a new government. It is 11 years old. While technology has advanced, criminality has galloped forward. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9265138\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am wondering if the <a data-HoCid=\"319409\" href=\"/politicians/anthony-housefather/\" title=\"Anthony Housefather\">parliamentary secretary</a> would like to explain why, in 11 years, when technology has advanced at a certain pace, crime has galloped ahead at a much faster pace.</p>",
