Thanks, Chair.
Minister, welcome.
Welcome to our witnesses.
As we've been discussing in the committee, and, of course, as we know, social factors play a significant role in leading individuals to engage in crime and violence.
I want to thank you again for coming to my province earlier this month, where you announced funding to the Halifax Regional Municipality to support local projects aimed at young people involved in gangs and at risk of joining them, so we can set them up for better success. Of course, in your opening, you mentioned the 902 Man Up Black empowerment initiatives. We know how important it is to work with community groups that have local grassroots expertise.
There is no policing-exclusive solution, as we know, to violent crime. This is one way you're addressing that. Can you mention how else government is addressing...? Again, I've mentioned those, but I'm sure you have many other examples.
