Thank you, Minister.
With bills that were previously before this committee, we heard testimony from police officers and other experts in the field--front-line workers--that to really combat crime you have to disrupt the criminal enterprises. It involves taking the small percentage of Canadians who are actually involved in these very serious activities and disrupting their criminal enterprises.
Can you speak a bit to that in relation to these two bills, specifically on gang violence and the importance of disrupting those activities--taking those who are the worst perpetrators off the streets?
