Mr. Garfield Dunlop (Simcoe North): Today I was honoured to be present at the Flemingdon Resource Centre here in Toronto when our leader, John Tory, released Time for Action: A Report on Violence Affecting Youth.

After more than two years of inaction, Liberal photo ops, broken promises and reacting without any consultation to media reports, our leader has put before the citizens of Ontario a very detailed and comprehensive report outlining 22 key recommendations. The 22 recommendations focus on three broad categories: policing, fixing the justice system, and providing youth and their families with programs to prevent crime.

Almost one year ago, John Tory called on Dalton McGuinty to convene a summit on violence affecting youth. The Premier refused. John Tory took action. John Tory provided the leadership Ontarians deserve. John Tory considers the guns and gang violence issue to be a top priority and has worked tirelessly meeting with stakeholders for the past year to compile the information necessary to draft this report. The full report is available on www.ontariopc.net.

Today our leader is calling on Dalton McGuinty to accept the report and act on its recommendations. We have to get tough on the criminals and get serious about helping kids stay out of trouble. We have to start saving their lives. It's time for action.
