Thank you for that.
I think Mr. Champagne was the only witness who mentioned victims in his testimony. That is telling to me, because I know the concern, which came certainly from my perspective and that of others, was that we wanted to make sure that we have fewer victims in the future. I've heard compelling testimony from other witnesses suggesting that this bill would help do that.
No one has ever suggested that this bill is the whole package. There are other things that have to be done. We have to address other causes for crime and do what we can when it comes to prevention. We have to do what we can when it comes to resources, having police on the streets—and we've provided for that.
But I note that all around this table, with the exception of the Bloc, with the NDP and the Liberals in the last election, we all campaigned on a commitment for increasing mandatory minimum sentences for gun crimes.
