Thank you.
I would like to spend a week with you. I feel that we would obtain all the information we need to draft a comprehensive and useful report. Unfortunately, we have very little time. I commend you for being so specific in your presentations and not duplicating what the others were saying. Because there is so little time, I will ask you questions that beg for answers and that could seriously help us prepare our report.
I will start with Mr. Pierre-Paul Pichette, because of the position he holds. If you had to inform your minister on criminal gang activity in Montreal and Quebec City your notes and overall analysis would certainly not contain only secrets or information not to be disclosed to the general public. We know that in Montreal there are the Hells Angels, the mafia, street gangs and other groups. You quite rightly added responsibilities regarding Asian gangs and the former East Block gangs.
Can you give us a written summary on the status of organized crime in Quebec City and Montreal specifically?
