Mr. Speaker, we believe strongly in an integrated fight against crime. The hon. member is right to the extent that more police on the streets help. That is why we provided $400 million for the provinces to fund new police officers. That money is in their hands to do that.
We made a commitment to deliver a thousand new RCMP officers and we have already delivered over 1,500. That is helping.
Handguns are a big part of the drug trade. That is why we are cracking down with new legislation to combat the drug trade and organized crime.
I hope the hon. member will help make that part of the comprehensive combat against crime in Canada.
