I invite you to use your earphones, because I will be speaking in French.
I have taken some notes. I see you do a lot of prevention work among youth. I also see you have a pretty good success rate. You said that 79.3% of youth stated that they would get out of the gang if they had a true second chance in life. I was surprised by that number. That is a lot. This means that a lot of work has been done and it must continue in order to allow these young people to reintegrate into society, so they can have a better life.
In the past, there were major criminal gangs like the Hells Angels and the Rock Machine. Now we are experiencing another phenomenon, namely, street gangs. In Toronto, we heard a great deal about ethnic gangs, for instance, Asian gangs, black gangs, and so on. Now you are telling us about aboriginal gangs. Do aboriginal groups really have the resources they need to help young people and work on prevention? Perhaps you could talk about this, Mr. Louis.
Mr. Rice, you talked about electronic surveillance. That made me chuckle, because young people today all have BlackBerries and iPods; they use Facebook and Twitter, and they all have codes. It is very difficult to try to decode their systems. It could take years to do so. It made me chuckle a little when you talked about electronic surveillance, because they are very familiar with how you work. Small-time, young street dealers are not the ones who are dangerous, but rather the big bosses are. They will often use young people who have never committed a crime, who have never taken drugs in their life and who are out to make a fast buck. So the big bosses make them sell drugs on the street. I wonder what your thoughts are on this.
Mr. Louis, perhaps you could go first.
