Thank you, Chair, and wow, what great testimony today. That is absolutely amazing, and somehow my camera has failed. I'm getting a failure notice. I don't know what happened.
Anyway, I'll continue. Sorry about that. I'm getting a failure notice on my Zoom.
I'm loving the conversation around potential solutions to some of the problems. If I'm hearing correctly, the government has been slow to respond to a lot of the problems. A lot of solutions could be found on the ground or at the community level if government—whether it be Ottawa or your provincial government—just gets out of the way and lets these communities solve things. Getting rid of drug dealers and other methods were mentioned.
I don't even know to whom I should address this question. I'll open it up. How would that work, in terms of the mechanics, if Ottawa or the provinces backed away and said, “Okay, we want to give communities the tools and the funding they need to either run their own police service or enact their own laws,” and then gave them the enforcement power to do that? How would that work with existing Canadian laws?
Again, I don't know who to open it up to, but I'm willing to listen to anyone who wants to answer.
