Madam Speaker, it has happened again. Gun violence has hit Montreal yet again.
Yesterday, a 20-year-old man lost his life when he was struck by bullets. A 17-year-old teenager was also injured. It happened in the middle of the street in a residential neighbourhood at 7:15 p.m.
Montreal families are scared. They are scared of losing their young people, of being hit by stray bullets, of ending up in the wrong place at the wrong time, even in their own home.
The minister knows he has a duty to do something about this, but does he understand the urgency of the matter?
