But I still go back to the statistics showing that the crime rate is lower in Quebec. If passing the Truth in Sentencing Act means increasing costs for the provinces, do you think that the federal government is going to transfer federal funds to the provinces to help them deal with the consequences of passing it?
As a Quebecker—and the people in my constituency tell me the same thing—I am not in favour of federal measures that increase our costs to pay for the spike in crime elsewhere, whereas our crime rate is lower.
