Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Good morning, everybody.

My question is directed to the Winnipeg Police Service. I'm a retired police officer myself, and I have concerns about the gangs and guns crimes across our country.

The Winnipeg police have a specific unit related to guns and gangs. According to the Winnipeg police, almost half the gang members are under the age of 18. Could you speak about the work this guns and gangs unit does and about the steps that are being taken to address the alarming number of young people involved in these gangs?
