Mr. Speaker, I will make this very quick and very short. I have two questions. They are not difficult to answer and I am going to listen carefully to the answers.
The solicitor general stated a solid record in dealing with organized crime. Regarding the anti-gang legislation enacted in 1997, over three years ago, I ask the solicitor general how many convictions have taken place under that legislation? If the answer is more than zero, I want to have the information regarding those convictions.
Second, could he explain to me the heading in the press release from the police which states “Police Plead for Tougher Measures to Fight Organized Crime: Less Talk, More Action, Says Canadian Police Association”. We have not had any at this time.
Could he explain his comments at his press conference and tell me how many convictions have there been?
