I believe there's a strong consensus.
With organized crime, if they see a loophole.... Right now, they view a loophole in Canada that other Five Eyes countries have closed. We don't have lawful access for police. This is going to replicate itself across the country. It will mushroom. It may have started out in Surrey and Brampton, but we've heard of cases in Calgary, Edmonton and Winnipeg. I've had colleagues, other mayors across the country, call me and say the same terrifying incidents I've told them about are now happening in their communities.
Other gangs and organized criminal syndicates will commit these extortions and heinous criminal activities if they can get away with them. The lawful access legislation is a clear tool to police to make sure that they don't get away with them. Don't give a gift to organized crime. Don't dither and delay. Right now, it may be in 10 or 15 Canadian cities, but it will be in 100 Canadian cities in no time if we do not act. We've been too slow as it is, and that's why the police have been so united, clear and eloquent on the need for this legislation.
