Mr. Speaker, my question is for the solicitor general.
He is going to Vancouver. I want to appeal to the minister not just to go to Vancouver but to go to Burnaby as well. I represent a group of constituents in the Metrotown area of Burnaby who are absolutely fed up with the failure of this government to respond seriously to a very significant problem, a crisis in that community.
Drug dealers are openly defying the law in the Metrotown Skytrain area. People are abusing immigration laws and the criminal code.
The minister says he is studying the situation, that he is looking into it, that he is going to treasury board. This is not good enough.
My colleague from Kamloops previously pointed out that an organized crime investigation was shut down because a couple in his constituency were told that the RCMP did not have the resources to deal with it.
When the minister goes to Vancouver, will he meet with people from Burnaby? The Burnaby RCMP have identified this as a very serious problem. There is a total lack of resources. Will the minister take his responsibility seriously and respond to this crisis?
