Thank you very much.
My question is for you, Mr. Lévesque, and perhaps you'll be able to supplement the answer.
I have a specific interest. I come from Quebec City. You know that we've had major problems with prostitution rings involving important people in Quebec City. You heard about that for a number of years in the Quebec City region. After that, I moved away, and I was interested by the situation in Montreal. Here Mr. Noël partly answered my questions, but I'm putting the question to you.
There's something de peculiar in Montreal, in that we currently sense that something isn't working. I'm talking about street gangs. One of the Bloc Québécois members, Maria Mourani, has published a book in which she describes all street gangs, citing virtually all the names of the members, where they work and so on. So we know that there are street gangs, and we are virtually able to identify their territory and to put names to certain leaders, etc. We know the names of the members of the Hells Angels who are in certain areas of Montreal—I'm coming back to the Hells Angels here—and so on. In the case of the mafia, we seem to have names as well.
So I'm asking myself some questions. We make laws and we know all that. You, who are a former police officer, tell me why it is that we don't act if we know all that. Is it because we lack money, as you said earlier? Is it because we know things and we don't want to get to the bottom of the affair? I'm a bit intrigued. I'm even a bit uncomfortable because we know a lot of things, an enormous number of things, as you said earlier. You've also discovered others, but nothing happens. I'm starting to be afraid. That means that I pay a lot of taxes and that nothing's working. That's also what that means.
So I'm putting the question to you, Mr. Lévesque, who seem to be quite informed about this affair.
