I'm going to come back to the minister's point about the importance of prevention.
A look at correctional systems around the world—Canada is reputed for being a global leader, by the way—reveals that the successful ones place the most emphasis on prevention, as opposed to intervention.
It's necessary to invest in crime prevention or to identify adequate supports when it comes to employment, health, substance abuse and mental health. Addressing those issues appropriately does more than arresting people and putting them in prison.
I truly believe that is the best way to prevent the serious crimes we are currently seeing.
