Mr. Speaker, Montreal is grappling with a wave of violence connected to organized crime, but the Conservatives have refused to renew funding for the Eclipse squad. Joint forces are the best way to fight the Mafia and street gangs. By cutting funding for squads that have proven their worth, the Conservatives are taking another step backward in the fight against crime.
Making tougher laws will not solve the problem without adequate police resources to enforce those laws.
Will the minister reverse his decision to cut the Eclipse squad's funding?
