Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to the member for Windsor—Tecumseh.
When I looked at the statistics, I was shocked to see that in Ontario—I think Windsor is still in Ontario, and that concerns my colleague—there were 50,065 car thefts in 1999.
We do not yet have the statistics for 2007, but in 2006, there were 38,398, so let us say 39,000, car thefts in Ontario. That is almost 11,000 fewer cars stolen in Ontario.
Does my colleague know why there was this decrease? Is there some kind of phenomenon in Ontario? We were not yet in a recession.
Were there any measures that could be used in other regions in Canada that led to this significant decline in the number of car thefts?
