Mr. Speaker, today, for the seventh year in a row the members of the Canadian Police Association are meeting with parliamentarians to discuss issues of concern to them.
I take this opportunity to salute their determination and the professionalism with which they present their views.
You, the people in the front line, are the ones we need to listen to.
The Bloc Quebecois shares the majority of your concerns, and we will continue, with you, to seek to make our society still safer than it is at present.
Like you, the Bloc Quebecois has been concerned about biker gang wars and organized crime in all of its forms for some years now.
Like you, the Bloc Quebecois proposes legislative measures that are aimed at prohibiting membership in a criminal organization and make it more possible to get at those in charge.
Like you, the Bloc Quebecois also wants to see more federal government funding put into an effective battle against organized crime.
We hope that the Minister of Justice of Canada will, like all of us, have the firm intention of putting a stop to organized crime and of doing so very soon.
