Public Safety committee  My first couple of questions will be for the commission. In the time you've been serving, on average, how many complaints have you been getting from civilians? What range of issues are those complaints on? How long does the process generally take, whether for an initial review

Public Safety committee  Sorry, I lost my train of thought with that. You ended by saying there was a 60-day review.

Public Safety committee  How long does it generally take for the RCMP to do their review after you've sent the complaint?

Public Safety committee  I know there must be a range of issues, but can you identify three or four main issues that do occur?

Public Safety committee  I believe Mr. Graham had a couple questions.

Public Safety committee  I've given my time over to David. He has a keen interest in this subject, so I think it's only fair.

Public Safety committee  When you compare the $65 million offer to past allocated amounts, is this more or less than what the Government of Canada has provided provinces, or Ontario specifically?

Public Safety committee  Is this kind of funding the first of its kind from the federal government to the provinces?

Public Safety committee  From my experience in just these last few years of paying attention and monitoring, because issues now tend to come to the members of Parliament, I've seen that as the weather gets better and the summer comes along, in general there's an increase in criminal activity in Brampton.

Public Safety committee  Thank you. Thank you, Minister Blair, for being here today. I want to start with the agreements you were speaking of earlier with the different provinces in relation to the funding in terms of gangs and guns. Can you tell me a little bit about how much funding is being provided

Public Safety committee  Why is it only $11 million at this point? Who makes that choice, and how was that decided?

Public Safety committee  Are you telling me there's $65 million available to Ontario? I know that my counterparts in the City of Brampton have been taking a keen interest in wanting to reduce crime in the city. However, they've only accepted $11 million of the $65 million that's been offered.

Public Safety committee  Is there any way to provide the money directly to the municipal governments? I know that my city, Brampton, is very eager to be able to get access to some of these funds to help them with some of the problems they're dealing with. Is the only way to get access to this money to go

Public Safety committee  Okay. Recently, Minister, we've heard so much news in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick about flooding. How much of your budget has been spent on mitigating the effects or dealing with the aftermath of the flooding that has occurred?

Public Safety committee  Wow.
