Thank you.
Thank you, Minister, for being here today. Your file is a very important file to me and of course to this committee. Recently, in my city of Brampton, we've seen a big uptick in the use of firearms in the commission of criminal activity, and it has become a real concern in the community. My question goes a little bit to what Mr. Motz was referring to.
When it comes to local regions, they want to know how this money is affecting their region in particular. In terms of the $86 million going to the RCMP, going to CBSA, the region I live in is very close to the largest airport in the country, and I have heard and read that many guns that are obtained are obtained illegally and oftentimes come from south of the border.
I would like your opinion on where the guns are coming from and how the funding that you're giving—the $86 million—can help alleviate some of the problems that we're seeing in the city of Brampton.
