Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest to the hon. member's intervention. In my riding of Parkdale-High Park in Toronto my constituents are very concerned at the trend where streets are becoming more unsafe instead of being safer.
This is why the minister has come up with some tools to combat crime in the streets, to reduce the drug trade, to prevent the violent sex offender from threatening the community. We can all get up and recite horror stories one after another. Is this going to prevent an increase in crime?
I would like to ask the hon. member of the Reform Party this. Does he have any constructive amendments to this bill? This is why we debate, so that opposition parties and members from our own party can improve the bill. The government would be very interested in any constructive amendments that the hon. member can make to improve the bill.
