Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
This is an enormous, a gigantic problem. I would really like to be able to clean up the whole mess from top to bottom, but there will always be some residual dirt. It is an unending task. However, we must strive to do our utmost.
Reverend, I would like to say a few words about the young Asians in particular. I have recently read two or three reports on Asian parents who send away their children alone to study in Canada, in Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal. These youth who are not yet adults, were 14 to 17 years old. Parents were sure their children would be taken care of here but in fact they were left to themselves. It is an obvious and recognized fact that these youth are easy prey for street gangs and many have joined these gangs. We must get these young people back. We really have to do something for them.
I want to talk about Carcajou. You know that we launched operation Carcajou in Quebec. It was a complex, difficult, dangerous task. We put lives in danger but it worked.
I would like to know your opinion on this. Do you believe we should start another such operation? What could be improved in carrying out such an operation? I know it worked in Quebec. It was not perfect. It is never perfect but I believe that we should consider operations of this type to eliminate criminal groups. This reduces at the same time the number of street gangs because it is all a vicious circle. I would like to hear your views.
