Mr. Speaker, an article published in the newspaper La Presse revealed that, of the 342 criminal groups identified by Quebec police forces, 57 street gangs work exclusively in Montreal and, of these, about 20 are considered major players.
The chief of the Montreal police force also stated that the mafia, bikers and gangs are working together to an increasing extent.
Can the Minister of Justice tell us what our government is doing to fight organized crime and street gangs in order to make our streets safer?
