It is, for example, cutting back on the youth gang prevention fund, which is an anti-gang program that will be closed.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2289674\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member is quite right. There are many good ideas around the world so that we do not need to re-invent the wheel in order to make significant progress but we need to share those ideas with the government where we can.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2289675\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member made reference to auto theft. Back in, I believe, 2004, Winnipeg had somewhere in the neighbourhood of 13,000 or 14,000 vehicles being stolen. After a lot of prodding from the opposition, the government tried to come to grips with how best to deal with that. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2289676\" data-originallang=\"en\">One of the things we found out was that a relatively small number of youth, I believe less than 200, were stealing thousands of cars. A number of them got caught stealing at least 30 cars. What happened is that a program was developed that gave special attention to the high offenders. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2289677\" data-originallang=\"en\">What we really need to do is encourage and support those types of programs. We should not only bring in legislation of this nature but act on programs that will actually have an impact on crime in the streets. As I say, this particular bill will not necessarily prevent crimes from taking place.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2289673\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 d\u2019<a data-HoCid=\"128453\" href=\"/politicians/jim-maloway/\" title=\"Jim Maloway\">Elmwood\u2014Transcona</a> a bien compris ce que j\u2019essayais de faire ressortir, c\u2019est-\u00e0-dire qu\u2019il est paradoxal que nous soyons saisis de ce projet de loi aujourd\u2019hui, \u00e9tant donn\u00e9 ce que fait le gouvernement sur le plan budg\u00e9taire: il sabre le Fonds de lutte contre les activit\u00e9s des gangs de jeunes, un programme de lutte contre les gangs qui sera \u00e9limin\u00e9. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2289674\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a raison: les bonnes id\u00e9es abondent dans le monde et nous n\u2019avons pas besoin de r\u00e9inventer la roue pour r\u00e9aliser des progr\u00e8s appr\u00e9ciables, mais nous devons communiquer ces id\u00e9es au gouvernement lorsque cela est possible.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2289675\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a parl\u00e9 des vols de voitures. En 2004, il me semble, de 13 000 \u00e0 14 000 v\u00e9hicules ont \u00e9t\u00e9 vol\u00e9s \u00e0 Winnipeg. Harcel\u00e9 par l\u2019opposition, le gouvernement a essay\u00e9 de trouver les meilleures solutions au probl\u00e8me. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2289676\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons constat\u00e9 qu\u2019un nombre relativement faible de jeunes, soit moins de 200, je crois, volaient des milliers de voitures. Un certain nombre d\u2019entre eux se sont fait appr\u00e9hender pour avoir vol\u00e9 au moins 30 voitures. Que s\u2019est-il pass\u00e9? Un programme a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9labor\u00e9 qui accordait une attention particuli\u00e8re \u00e0 ceux qui commettaient de nombreuses infractions. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2289677\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Ce qu\u2019il faut faire, au fond, c\u2019est encourager et appuyer ce genre de programme. Nous devrions non seulement l\u00e9gif\u00e9rer en ce sens, mais aussi appliquer des programmes qui auront un effet sur la criminalit\u00e9 dans les rues. Je le r\u00e9p\u00e8te, le projet de loi \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tude ne pr\u00e9viendra probablement pas la perp\u00e9tration de crimes.</p>"
