Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Saint-Jean for her very thoughtful, reasonable and well-informed speech. In Montreal, there are shootings and gunfire. Violence has increased, parents and families are worried about their children and there is a proliferation of guns. I would like my colleague's opinion. Is there not a security problem that stems from the lack of gun control?

Mr. Speaker, as I just said, the bail system is a fundamental part of our system. If a person poses a threat to public security he or she should not get bail. We have to strike a balance and we will work with the provinces, because even though criminal law is under federal responsibility, it is with the provinces that we will determine how to administer the system. We will do that together.
