Minister, that's not at all what I said and that's not at all what I asked.
I'll move on to the next question for you.
Angus Reid's poll, before the pandemic, suggested that half of Canadians said crime has risen in their neighbourhood in the last five years. Two in three Canadians don't have faith in the criminal courts. There is a 30% increase in people reporting that they were victims of crime. Recent reports and news show that Canadians in downtown Vancouver no longer consider it a safe place to live. They're asking where their public leaders are and why they aren't doing more.
In Toronto this year, there have been well over 400 shootings and nearly 200 people killed or injured. So far this year, shootings are up 10%, alongside a 20% increase in shooting deaths. Clearly your policies are not working, as I said previously, and your plan is failing Canadians across the board.
Given that fact, what new plans are you and your government proposing that will finally address the issues around rising violent crime rates, gang crime, gang violence and the killings that plague our communities? Minister, what is a plan that will actually improve public safety across this country?
