Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Gill, for your insights on this bill. I'd like first to say that recruitment has changed over the years. From my days as a police officer in my undercover work dealing with the Hells Angels, things have changed. I think that's what is missed in all of this. It's that the gangs we speak of today are much more immature and much more brazen than those such as the Hells Angels or the Bandidos, which try not to get involved or put themselves in light of criminal offences because they don't want to get caught.
The biggest thing I've noticed over the years is intimidation. Intimidation is normally used for one or two reasons. Someone else does the crime and the recruiter reaps the benefit, or the recruiter may elude jail time and let a younger person go to jail for them. Intimidation normally happens by harming family or friends. That's normally how it works, and it works very well.
I completely agree with you with regard to this.
I have one question. In the time you went across Canada on this bill, were you able to determine whether there was a rise in recruitment for females?
