I was looking at some old articles.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2564771\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We heard earlier that the administration of justice is at the breaking point as regards the ability to continue funding, but I want to look at long-term solutions instead of short-term solutions. I say this from the experience of being a defence lawyer. Do you not agree that most of the crimes are caused by organized crime situations and repeat offenders? Would you not agree that most people before the courts are either repeat offenders of some kind, or belong to organized crime?</p>",

Je parle en tant qu'ancien avocat de la d\u00e9fense. \u00cates-vous d'accord pour dire que la plupart des crimes sont commis par des membres du crime organis\u00e9 et des r\u00e9cidivistes?
