Mr. Speaker, I understand the intention to strengthen law and order and I understand how noble the goal is. However, we must always be careful not to replace the courts. As legislators, we can propose measures, but we must always allow for flexibility. Perhaps we could allow for discretion on mandatory minimum sentences. The Bloc Québécois would be willing to increase them for serious crimes, particularly gun crimes. We think that is a mistake.
Here is my question for the member. We suggested creating a registry of criminal organizations. People are walking around publicly displaying their affiliations with criminal organizations that we know are dangerous and problematic. Such a registry could enable law enforcement to respond more effectively and could make it easier to charge criminals. What does my colleague think of that suggestion?
