Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We've talked about money. We understand that money makes this system work. We've talked about gangs and youth and intervention and all those things.
We've passed by the issue of guns. There was some evidence here today that was, to me, new, and worse, on the prevalence of guns.
Mr. Bazin, I think it was you who was talking about the proliferation of guns in the effecting of criminal activity.
So as a short snapper to the three police agencies represented here, is our problem with guns getting worse in your communities? Do the laws that exist--please don't talk about the long gun registry--help? There's a much older regime with respect to handguns under the Criminal Code, restricted weapons, etc. What could we do, legislatively or otherwise--and maybe the border is an issue--to help the situation with guns? That's unless it's okay and getting better.
We can start any way you want. Why don't we start from left to right; it's sort of our penchant here on this side.
