Thank you, Mr. Chair.
And thank you for being here, witnesses.
Professor Gordon, as part of our briefing in advance of this, we were given documentation from the Province of British Columbia. In terms of task forces and an integrated fight against organized crime, or the gangs, I think you're left with the impression from these documents that with the uniform gang task force--and they make reference to another one--in fact, we don't have the silo effect here in B.C. I have to say that when I came here, I had the opposite impression, and when I got this material, I was a bit taken aback.
How accurate is this reflection that the province is moving away from silos and in fact having some kind of organized, integrated response to organized crime?
