Mr. Chairman, I agree with the general tone of the motion and particularly with regard to zero tolerance towards violence but I have problem with the wording of the policy. We're directing the government to develop a policy of zero tolerance. I have difficulty with that; I don't know how the government would develop such a policy in regards to this. I'm just wondering, if they do develop this type of policy, who is going to enforce it? That is the main problem, I think. Maybe the wording should have been something to the effect that the principle of zero tolerance towards violence should be adopted by our government and widely publicized.

I think that would be more appropriate than requesting the government to put it in the form of a policy. I would strongly suggest to the mover of the motion that my suggestion could be incorporated. I can't see how the government can incorporate the wishes of the Chairman of the Standing Committee on Health and Social Services.
