Thank you very much. We really appreciate it.
My questions will probably be for Mr. Guimont. Please point me to another witness if I am not speaking to the right person.
There was a temporary fund of $400 million over five years for the recruitment of police officers. The province of Quebec has used it. We were entitled to $92.5 million, if I am not mistaken. We have used it to set up joint forces to fight street gangs. Right from the first year, the results were tremendous, in terms of arrests, searches and the decline in the number of murders. The numbers accurately reflect the quality of those joint forces. They have done a good job thanks to the working capital of $400 million for the recruitment of police officers.
The government announced that this fund would expire and that it would not be renewed; it was a temporary fund. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but a fund of $30 million was announced for the fight against street gangs. So there is currently a shortfall for the province of Quebec and probably for the other provinces in terms of the fight against street gangs.
Does the proposed fund have an amount set aside for the fight against street gangs?
