I did some work up in Fort McMurray early on in the 1990s. I worked with the inter-agencies. I was staggered to learn about the amount of drugs that were going in and out of the camps up there. It was quite shocking.
We have a huge problem with recidivism in my riding, specifically in Williams Lake and Prince George, where it seems that 90% of the crimes are committed by the same people. We can't seem to keep them off the streets and we can't keep illegal weapons out of their hands. What can we do at the ground level, the municipal level, and how can we help end the violence and keep these guys off the streets?
