Mr. Speaker, that question did not come from me. The question came from the uncle of the child who was shot dead in his school.
Young people have said that they are afraid to come forward after witnessing major crimes. They need protection.
The Association of Chiefs of Police, the mayor, the Toronto Police Services Board have all asked for increased federal money for witness protection. Applications are on the rise, but the government is sitting on its hands.
When will the government get serious on crime, beef up the witness protection program and get criminals off our streets?
