Mr. Speaker, it is true that I went over that point too quickly. My colleague's question gives me an opportunity to conclude my speech by reiterating the importance of this aspect and highlighting the imbalance it creates. It is all well and good for us to pass laws here at the federal level, but then we transfer the management of criminal issues to the provinces and municipalities.
Quebec is responsible for administering justice and addressing homelessness, which involves expenses and security issues for municipalities. They find themselves having to tackle these challenges head-on. That is why we have to be careful about the legislation we pass here, because inevitably, we end up putting these responsibilities on the provinces, Quebec and the municipalities.
