Thank you.
Minister, I have just a couple of questions.
One is this. When you deal with issues of crime and safety, there's a whole spectrum of things, and the question I might ask you might legitimately belong in the public safety portfolio, but here's the question. You have in fact been spending over a billion dollars on incarcerating prisoners, legitimately so. You've been passing legislation that's been toughening up sentences and lengthening sentences for various crimes. Yet the money you've budgeted in the last two fiscal years on crime prevention can't get out the door. We are not spending the money preventing crime. We're not assisting the crime prevention groups that exist across this country that are actually clamouring for resources, that want to do crime prevention so that people don't get into a life of crime. How does that make sense to you? Canadians would wonder. You have this government that has this schizophrenic attitude, spending billions of dollars on incarcerating people, toughening up sentences, lengthening sentences, yet not spending enough money, not getting it out the door on crime prevention.
