We know that the courts are bogged down and that we are fighting crime. We need to look at the whole picture. As for gun control, we are dealing with it, and are aiming at tougher measures as far as gun-related offences and permit issuing are concerned. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1373244\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It is easy to quote all kinds of facts and figures and to criticize rather than take action, which is the Bloc Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois approach, but as for us, we are implementing our program against crime and it will be effective. </p>",

On sait qu'il y a un embourbement dans les tribunaux, et on s'attaque au crime. Il faut voir cela dans son ensemble. Quant au contr\u00f4le des armes \u00e0 feu, on s\u00e9vit dans ce sens, et les infractions pour les peines rattach\u00e9es et l'obtention de permis seront plus s\u00e9v\u00e8res.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1373244\" data-originallang=\"fr\">C'est facile de citer toutes sortes de statistiques, de critiquer et de ne pas agir, comme le fait le Bloc qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois, mais notre programme contre le crime, on l'applique et il sera efficace.</p>"
