As I said earlier, Ms. Jennings, that's why I've been coming here so regularly for some time now. I get the sense that we are part of a team or family.
Since there are a number of bills, if you follow the logic, the objective is quite clear: if somebody commits a serious crime, he or she will suffer the consequences. Such an individual would know from the word go that if he or she chose to go down that path, there wouldn't be a seasoned defence lawyer or magician able to get them released easily. Any individual going down that path would suffer the consequences.
Mr. Ménard raised a point. I recall that at the time I was part of the law enforcement squad that became the Carcajou squad. We were going head-to-head with the Hells Angels who literally controlled Quebeckers' everyday lives. People thought that in Quebec the police and government had thrown in the towel and that they weren't able to get a handle on this file. It took tough legislation, like the Antigang Act which was really put to good use. The upshot of the Antigang Act was that these individuals suffered consequences at the hands of the courts which they had not suffered before, in other words they were sent to prison for a long time.
But things are getting tougher with each and every case because these people exploit the system, identify its weaknesses and see how far they can get. That's why, bill after bill, you see us here saying the same thing over and over, hammering in the same message, and asking you to help us. We need several bills.
