In terms of our recommendations, if it's around parole, we have some recommendations there, some parole hearings for those really high-risk offenders, talking about victims' rights and making sure they understand when someone's released, but I think it's a big difference when our members, the ones I represent, are out there seeing this extreme level of victimization. It's not something you're reading on a piece of paper. You're seeing someone shot and killed. You're seeing a child raped. You're seeing that eight-year-old I keep coming back to, shot in his bed at eight o'clock in the morning, and it's our members who have to deal with these people. It's our community officers who have to go back into those communities and try to build relationships. It just seems like it's always focused on the offender.
I get that every person has rights and there's a presumption of innocence, but we need to put victims first. I think Canadians are fed up with it. Even in the city of Toronto, they want to see consequences, real consequences, for this small number of individuals causing the violence in our streets.
