The people of Chinatown say they are bearing the brunt of the high number of homeless people in the city.
On Thursday, they led a tour through their community to show local politicians what they're up against.
"Drug transactions that take place here on a daily basis," said Bryant Chang, vice-president of the Chinese Association of Montreal.
On a walk through the neighbourhood, residents did not hold back, telling the leader of the opposition at City Hall what they witness regularly.
"I’ve seen fights break out between dealers and addicts," said Chang.
Yet again, Chinatown is calling on the Valérie Plante administration to take action. They say they no longer feel safe because of drugs and crime.
"We want to send a message that we can do something to avoid the drugs, the violence and by having more police presence. We can restore a feeling of safety," said Fo Niemi, the executive director of the Center for Research-Action on Race Relations (CRARR).
