Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm glad I have another opportunity, Minister, because I want to continue with my train of thought and the questions I was asking when I ran out of time previously. I want to focus a little bit on the victims of some of these crimes.
I know that we're speaking a lot about criminals and how we want to keep out criminals and so forth, but there is an impact on society and there is an impact on families. For the parents of Constable Todd Baylis, and certainly for his fiancée and the people who loved him and cared for him, not to mention the very courageous men and women who serve in our police service, I know how much they were impacted by that tragic shooting of Todd Baylis by a man who had garnered a stolen gun.
I also want to speak a little bit about Georgina—or Vivi—Leimonis. What I was saying previously was that she was a 23-year-old and a very vibrant young lady who, at 11 o'clock in the evening, was sitting at a table in a Just Desserts restaurant having dessert and coffee with her fiancé. An argument broke out as three gentlemen—criminals, not gentlemen.... An argument broke out as three criminals walked in and wanted to rob the place. Gunfire ensued, and Vivi—Georgina's nickname—was shot some 200 times from a distance of no more than three metres. It was absolutely tragic, and it struck her and her family more than anybody else, but I can tell you that the entire community, and indeed, not only the Greek community but the entire GTA....
I'd be very interested in hearing from you, Minister, about what you've heard from victims' groups. Politicians are politicians and we can say our thing—we're supporting a bill or we're not supporting a bill—but we are representing people here, and it's the people who give us the right to have an opportunity to represent them. I'd like to know what you hear from them.
