Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech and especially for the very personal story that he started out with. I am sure my colleagues here would agree that most of us find it very difficult to imagine the member becoming angry, but I am so glad that he was forthright in sharing that story because it does illustrate the fact that in the heat of these moments, when people have no option to call the police, they want to take action to protect the person with them or the property.

\n

My colleague shared a number of facts about his riding in Winnipeg, the high crime statistics there, and certainly that is a cause for concern, not just in Winnipeg but across our country especially in our urban areas. I wonder if my colleague would agree that it is time in this country to restore that sense of balance to our criminal justice system that begins to recognize the rights of victims.

Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je remercie mon coll\u00e8gue de son intervention et, en particulier, de l'histoire personnelle qu'il a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e au d\u00e9but. Je suis persuad\u00e9 que la plupart de mes coll\u00e8gues ici pr\u00e9sents conviennent qu'il est difficile d'imaginer le d\u00e9put\u00e9 en col\u00e8re, mais je me r\u00e9jouis qu'il ait pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 cette histoire parce qu'elle illustre le fait que dans une situation d'urgence, lorsque les gens n'ont pas la possibilit\u00e9 d'appeler la police, ils veulent prot\u00e9ger les personnes qui sont avec eux ou les biens dont ils sont responsables.

Mon coll\u00e8gue a fait \u00e9tat de nombreux faits concernant sa circonscription de Winnipeg, notamment le fort taux de criminalit\u00e9, qui constitue \u00e9videmment une source de pr\u00e9occupation, pas uniquement \u00e0 Winnipeg mais aussi \u00e0 l'\u00e9chelle de tout le Canada, surtout dans les r\u00e9gions urbaines. Je me demande si mon coll\u00e8gue convient qu'il est temps que le Canada r\u00e9tablisse un certain \u00e9quilibre dans le syst\u00e8me de justice p\u00e9nale, en commen\u00e7ant par reconna\u00eetre les droits des victimes.
