Mr. Speaker, obviously this fellow missed his spankings when he was a young person. That is pretty obvious.
Over the last 10 years, since the Young Offenders Act, 1984, 2,400 cases of violence were recorded. Now it is up to 24,000 and climbing which is over a 100% increase.
I do not understand where the member is coming from. Articles come out like the one today, May 26 “Teachers in Montreal's largest school board, the Montreal Catholic School Commission are rightly denouncing the climate for fear and violence in which far too many of them are forced to work. In the past two years, MCSC teachers have reported 90 incidents in which they have been physically assaulted by students, 30% in cases considered so serious that police were called in. Teachers were punched, kicked, choked, bitten and scratched. They have had chairs, bags and books thrown at them. They have had desks pushed into them. This March a teacher abruptly left her job after finding out that one of her students, a member of a gang, had put a price on her head”.
That is what we have come to. There are guys like that member who probably majored in bleeding heart 101 when he went to university, if he got that far, teardrop 102 and all the other socialist subjects they teach in these garbage places, so he can come here, stand and brag about how wonderful a job they are doing. And we have over a 100% increase in that kind of a crime. He is close to my age. Surely he was brought up a little better than that in the schools. I do not think that we had that kind of a problem when I went to school. I know we did not when I was a principal.
How does the member explain this terrible increase in crime? Does a little bit of discipline not ring some bells in his brainless head?
