Mr. Speaker, the member brings up an exceptional point. Whether it is mental illness or disorders such as fetal alcohol syndrome, there are issues that have a profound impact on what individuals are doing in our communities. If we do not allocate the necessary resources to support better programming, at the end of the day we are going to end up spending more money on our jails and there will be more crime on the streets.
I know this is a point that I hammer home every time I speak, but for me it is all about reducing crime on our streets. That is one of the reasons why I find it so difficult to support this bill. If we invested a little more in things like the member just made reference to, trying to address mental illness, it would do far more than this bill would do in terms of reducing crime on the streets.
