Strengthen public reporting
Petitioners ask the Government of Canada to strengthen public reporting on federal, provincial and municipal coordination by issuing regular transparent reports with independent review so Canadians can track efforts to curb violent and organized crime.
Why we would sign this petition
- It creates ongoing transparency about how federal, provincial and municipal bodies coordinate, letting citizens assess progress and hold governments accountable.
- Regular public reports can reveal trends and gaps earlier, informing policy adjustments to address rising violent and organized crime.
- An independent review could improve intergovernmental cooperation and public trust by evaluating what works and what must change.
Why we wouldn’t sign this petition
- It may add bureaucracy and cost, creating duplicative reporting without guaranteeing better outcomes.
- Public reports could be politicized or alarm citizens without delivering practical solutions to reduce crime.
- The petition may overlook alternative, possibly more effective measures like targeted policing, social programs or strengthening existing oversight.
The summary and both sets of reasons are AI-generated from the petition and given equal weight. Claims are the petitioners’ own; consult the official record for the full text.

PETITION TO THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA WHEREAS Organized violence, extortion, shootings and intimidation across the Lower Mainland and beyond is rising. Daylight shootings, murders and violence underscore a broader public safety crisis. Such as the tragic death of Darshan Singh Sahsi in Abbotsford. THEREFORE We, the undersigned citizens and permanent residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to reinforce the process of public reporting so Canadians can clearly see how federal, provincial and local governments are working together to prevent further increases in violent and organized crime.
