I've been out several times to British Columbia. It's very clear there's a serious problem with respect to gangs and drugs. Again, it's not isolated in British Columbia. We have some of these challenges right across the country.
I can tell you that Wally Oppal, the Attorney General, whom you mentioned specifically, was very, very pleased with our announcement on getting rid of double credit for time served. As a matter of fact, he joined with me at the press conference, as did a number of attorneys general across Canada, with a number of my colleagues, because they identified this as something that was a priority for them. I can tell you as well that I'm very, very pleased with how supportive they have been on our bills on drugs and gangs. This has been very well received by my provincial counterparts across the country.
With respect to RCMP funding and RCMP cooperation, of course I don't have direct responsibility or even indirect responsibility, for that matter, for the RCMP, but the government has committed funds. And I know the RCMP is working very carefully with all its counterparts across this country for effective law enforcement across Canada. But again, I've been very appreciative and listened very carefully.
With respect to your other part about lawful access, we explore all these issues. I never announce what we are doing until the announcement. You have a very full agenda before you right now, and certainly one of those things they've been looking for is that credit for time served. I hope that will move expeditiously through this committee, as will the other bills.
