Thank you, Madam Speaker, honourable Members. Madam Speaker, it is also not effective if, by ignoring the victims, we forget about prevention and trying to stop young victims from growing up to be perpetrators.

The Members of the Ordinary Members' Caucus wish to advise the Cabinet that we will be expecting much more than words when we reconvene in February. We will be expecting the government to take those words and turn them into action. We will be looking for the specific information and programs when we review the O and M budgets of each department. We will be looking for the contribution that each department will make towards achieving zero tolerance for violence.

Madam Speaker, as Members, we are committed to zero tolerance for violence. We expect to see the same commitment reflected in the government's programs and services. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
