Ontario Opposition Leader John Tory was in the Driftwood community of Toronto on Tuesday to hear resident's concerns on crime and violence.

Premier Dalton McGuinty announced Monday retiring chief justice Roy McMurtry and former Liberal MPP Alvin Curling will head a review, which will look to other cities and countries for guidance on how to reduce gun crime and youth violence.

Tory dismissed the review as nothing more than a campaign tactic saying it is inadequate and would not provide any real action on gun violence.

"Any plan has got to start to show people some results in a few months or otherwise they will roll their eyes and just say its another plan by another politician that really doesn't mean anything," Tory said after speaking to residents.

"I know from having seen some of the successes that when, for example, even one corporation engages itself in helping to find jobs and internships and so on, for one neighbourhood you can make a difference in a few months.

The Conservative Leader walked through the local park and spoke to residents who said the real issue was about a disenfranchised community with little work or community programs.

"Our business is about families. Families getting together and working together for whatever it is because in every family there is turmoil sometime or the other," local resident Sharon Joseph told CTV News.

Residents said solutions will take years and they want commitment from the government.

On Monday, McGuinty insisted the review would not prevent the province from taking steps to prevent violence in the interim.

"This is not going to prevent us from continuing to move ahead to do what we need to do to ensure we are taking real action against youth violence in particular," McGuinty said.

McGuinty maintained the review won't "bring all shootings to a grinding halt immediately," but would work towards a unified attempt at prevention between government and citizens.

"I think that what Ontarians are looking for is a concerted, determined and sincere effort being brought by all the players, and we're certainly going to do our part in that regard,'' McGuinty said.
