Thank you, Chair.
Gentlemen, thank you for your service, and thank you for your attendance here today.
Mr. Campbell, thank you.
I represent the great Toronto riding of York Centre, which is located in the west side of North York. I want to thank the heroes of 31 Division and 32 Division for serving and protecting my constituents. I want to thank the entire Toronto police force for all the remarkable work it does.
Mr. Campbell, it seems that Torontonians are waking up almost daily to hear about another overnight shooting. We hear almost daily about gang-related gun violence or targeted shootings on our streets. In 2022, the Liberals passed sentencing reform in Bill C-5, which removed certain mandatory minimum penalties and expanded the availability of conditional sentencing orders.
Can you tell the committee what, if any, effect the Liberal government's Bill C-5 sentencing law has had on gang violence in Toronto in the last few years?
