Mr. Speaker, to put an end to gang violence, we must address the root causes of violence.
Since 2017, we have invested more than $358 million to enhance law enforcement and prosecution resources, to increase law enforcement and prevention training, and to fund local strategies for preventing and combatting violence. We also created the $250‑million building safer communities fund to prevent at-risk youth from committing crimes.
We take all of this seriously. We will continue with solutions that work.
