Mr. Speaker, the member is right to characterize the organized crime issue as international. That is why there are 1,000 delegates in Toronto this week, representing some 20 countries' law enforcement agencies, all dealing with the question of organized crime.
As we discussed this morning, the government has primarily two responsibilities. One is to provide the tools. That is why we provided the witness protection program, the proceeds of crime legislation and the anti-gang legislation. That is why we established the national co-ordinating committee on organized crime under the leadership of the RCMP. That is why next week I will be in Washington discussing this very problem with Janet Reno.
The fight against this scourge on Canadian society continues.
