As Jean-Pierre Lévesque said, it's an uncertain period right now, but at the height of the war between the Hells Angels and Rock Machine, the two leaders of those groups were respectful of Vito Rizzuto. That gives the impression that things are different now because the situation is very uncertain, but the Italian mafia are at the top, followed by the Hells Angels and the street gangs.
It's true that the street gangs take up a lot of room because the mafia and the Hells Angels have been shaken. For the moment, there's a management problem within the mafia. Who's taking over from Vito Rizzuto and Nick Rizzuto, if ever there is a need for succession? Vito Rizzuto will be coming back to Canada in 2012. We heard that Agostino Cuntrera, who I talked about earlier, could become the leader. There's also a guy named Montana that the Bonanno family has sent to Montreal. However, neither is managing to establish his leadership.
When Vito was arrested in 2004 to be extradited to the United States, he told police officers who were in the car with him to watch out for the rise of the street gangs. The fact that the mafia was shaken has created a situation where there are fewer umpires than there used to be. And in my opinion, you see that even in the business community.
Within the construction firms—I wrote an article on this subject a month or two ago—a lot of businessmen are currently being beaten up. I'm talking about construction contractors from the Italian community. One of them was seriously beaten up in July by someone belonging to the street gangs, but we don't know where the order came from.
There are a lot. I could talk about other cases; I could name some names.
