The hon. member is right to the extent that more police on the streets help. That is why we provided $400 million for the provinces to fund new police officers. That money is in their hands to do that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1373248\" data-originallang=\"en\">We made a commitment to deliver a thousand new RCMP officers and we have already delivered over 1,500. That is helping.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1373249\" data-originallang=\"en\">Handguns are a big part of the drug trade. That is why we are cracking down with new legislation to combat the drug trade and organized crime. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1373250\" data-originallang=\"en\">I hope the hon. member will help make that part of the comprehensive combat against crime in Canada.</p>",

Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a raison dans la mesure o\u00f9 une pr\u00e9sence polici\u00e8re accrue dans les rues est utile. Voil\u00e0 pourquoi nous avons consenti 400 millions de dollars aux provinces pour financer la cr\u00e9ation de nouveaux postes d'agents de police. Les provinces disposent maintenant de l'argent pour ce faire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1373248\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous nous sommes engag\u00e9s \u00e0 d\u00e9ployer mille nouveaux agents de la GRC et nous en avons d\u00e9j\u00e0 d\u00e9ploy\u00e9 1 500. C'est une mesure qui va dans le bon sens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1373249\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les armes de poing constituent un \u00e9l\u00e9ment important du narcotrafic. C'est pourquoi nous pr\u00e9sentons une nouvelle mesure l\u00e9gislative pour lutter contre le narcotrafic et le crime organis\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1373250\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ose esp\u00e9rer que le d\u00e9put\u00e9 appuiera cette mesure l\u00e9gislative qui s'inscrit dans la lutte globale contre la criminalit\u00e9 au Canada. </p>"
