Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Sauvé, you said earlier that there was a lack of communication among organizations, be they municipal, provincial or federal police services, or the Crown. You said that situations were resulting where individuals had committed crimes in different regions or provinces, but that wasn't necessarily taken into account at their parole hearing. So I was thinking that a common registry may be useful. I think that's more or less what you were telling us.
Along the same lines, a few years ago, we proposed the creation of an organized crime registry. You know that there is a registry of terrorist organizations. All terrorist organizations that are added to the registry suffer various consequences, which I won't go into because it would take too long.
Do you think it would be useful, in the fight against crime, to set up a registry of criminal organizations for organizations like Hells Angels and other criminal groups? For example, in the case of criminal organizations that recruit young people, it could be said that they are criminal organizations, since they are on the list. This would limit the length of trials, since proving that they are criminal organizations would not be necessary. It would be automatic, since they are on the list, and people would know what to expect.
What do you think of that proposal?
