Mr. Speaker, very much so. May I say that it will also be part of our response to emphasize that the criminal justice system, while it has an important part in all of this, cannot by itself resolve the question of crime or respond to the concern of Canadians.
Ultimately this government recognizes that to meet those concerns to improve the quality of life in this country, to achieve the safe homes and safe streets of which we spoke last year, we must come to grips with the underlying causes of crime. We must have both an effective justice system that is enforced properly and a comprehensive strategy for crime prevention. That is the agenda of this government.
