That's a complicated question. If you are asking me about what you can do to help us, what we need the help in is to have better knowledge and understanding of the differences among gang members.
You talked a lot about gangs being controlled by all of those things you mentioned: alcohol, drugs, and human trafficking. In my world in the prairie provinces, that's not what I see in prison. What I see in prison and on conditional release, as you've also said, Mr. Petit, are such things as poverty, lack of education, and no employment. Those are the people who are in my jails. They are not rich. They're not making money from the drug trade. They're not making money from human trafficking or from those substances.
In fact, as for what they do, they're violent, and whatever money they do have, they either spend it on themselves to abuse those substances or they give it to their families to help support them. So my experience has not been so related to those things you were mentioning; I think we need to look more at the root causes of prevention before they get to my doorstep.
