Fighting it remains my number one law enforcement priority. And I m happy to say that I m not the only one who sees it that way. Some police forces here have been consulted on this process. I would like to thank you for your contributions, and for helping to put organized crime at the top of our agenda. Since the Joint Statement on Organized Crime was issued two years ago with our provincial and territorial colleagues, we have strengthened our resolve, maximized our resources and channelled these into a unified effort against organized crime.
Parliament also sees organized crime as a major priority.
Last year, all parties agreed that the issue should be studied very closely. Since then, a special sub-committee has started looking at the issue. The views of police officers will be a critical part of this process, and the subcommittee will be reporting its findings to Parliament. As you all know, organized crime is ever-changing. We all have to keep up, particularly as technologies change and are exploited by criminals.
