Strengthen public safety reporting
Petitioners ask the Government of Canada to strengthen public reporting on coordinated federal, provincial and municipal crime-prevention efforts so Canadians can see how governments work together to prevent increases in violent and organized crime.
Why we would sign this petition
- Improves transparency by making intergovernmental crime-prevention activities visible and enabling public oversight.
- Regular reports could reveal local trends and gaps, helping policymakers allocate prevention resources more effectively.
- Greater visibility of coordination may increase public confidence and encourage community cooperation with safety initiatives.
Why we wouldn’t sign this petition
- Producing coordinated reports across federal, provincial and municipal governments could impose significant administrative costs and delays.
- Reports may duplicate existing data or lack clear performance metrics, reducing their practical usefulness.
- Transparency alone may not change underlying policies or resource allocations needed to reduce violent and organized crime.
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.
Official petition
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.
