Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I too would like to express my support for this very important motion. I know right now it is just paper with the words that we say. There are not many resources behind it. For as many resources as we have, we could throw as many resources to it, as much as possible, but knowing that at the end of the day money is not going to solve this problem.
It is a personal choice, Mr. Speaker, amongst all people to respect ourselves and to respect one another. Only if you achieve that will violence then be reduced. What is violence? What is zero tolerance? What do we mean by zero tolerance? Do we have billboards out there that explains what violence is, emotional or physical?
I would like to suggest that this government develop some literature that could be put in public places that tells people what violence is. What do we measure ourselves against?
Physical violence is self-explanatory. We see the marks on people. We see the black eyes. We see the fat lips. We see the blood. There are other forms of violence which leads to disrespect, which leads to physical violence. Let us identify those other areas so that it is clear in our minds and in our hearts. It does not have to be a campaign. It could be just posters in the school hallways, in municipal buildings, on the streets and on public buildings. I thank you, Mr. Speaker.
