Mr. Speaker, as I said in my remarks, I have spoken to many first responders, from the fire services and the police in the community to people in the medical community. People who are involved in health care have to deal with a lot of the issues of people who are being brought to hospital who have been victims of violence. It is widespread and pervasive, and it has to stop.
In my community we used to be able to leave the doors open. We felt safe. The street that I have talked about with this individual is the street I grew up on, and it is not safe today. It is not safe in my community.
My colleague is absolutely right. The first responders are fed up, and they want to see change. I hope to God that we can see it very soon.
