Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, with regard to part (a), the total full-time equivalents, FTEs, employed at the RCMP depot division in Regina, in fiscal year 2021-22 was 468 FTEs, of which 228 FTEs were RCMP staff and 240 FTEs were civilian staff. With regard to part (b), the total FTE salary expenditure for fiscal year 2021-22 was $53,058,711.

Mental Health  Mr. Speaker, mental health must be a standard part of all perinatal medical checkups. Today, I join the Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Collaborative, along with the Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, fellow MPs and community members, for the second annual Flora's Walk to raise awareness in ensuring that postpartum psychosis and perinatal mental health are identified quickly and treated seriously.

Red Dress Day  Mr. Chair, I just want to thank the hon. member. I do not know how she is standing here tonight as an indigenous woman listening to the debate, answering questions and not getting emotional like I am. We have talked many times about the fact that I am a white woman and that if I went missing, people would look for me and my family would be listened to.

Red Dress Day  Mr. Chair, the women I met with in the Okanagan talked about their efforts of going out themselves to find missing loved ones without the support of police or the government, which is absolutely incredible. I will commit to the hon. member that I will ensure those recommendations are shared with the minister responsible.

Red Dress Day  Mr. Chair, Friday is Red Dress Day, a devastating and unacceptable reality in Canada also known as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and Two-Spirit People. Everyone has the right to safety and to live free from violence. All families deserve to know that if a loved one goes missing, every effort will be made to find them.

Public Safety  Madam Speaker, combatting crime is a complex issue. Rather than offering solutions, the party opposite wants to come up with catchy slogans and obstruct the policies we are putting forward. We need to be dealing with mental health. We are providing options when it comes to housing.

Public Safety  Madam Speaker, today the Minister of Public Safety is actually meeting with Secretary Mayorkas and Attorney General Garland from the United States at a cross-border crime forum. This is because we recognize that this issue transcends borders. That is why we have invested in the borders, something the Conservatives voted against.

Heart and Stroke Foundation  Mr. Speaker, like many of my colleagues, this week I met with representatives from Heart and Stroke Foundation. They are passionately reminding us to keep the health of children at the heart of our work. Dr. Sonia Anand was one of those here in Ottawa, a brilliant and kind cardiologist, professor and researcher from McMaster in Hamilton.

Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, with regard to part (a), the Canada Border Services Agency, or CBSA, is unable to respond to this question, as the agency’s financial systems do not track costs by individual border crossing. With regard to part (b), the CBSA does not pay for the maintenance or operating costs for the ports of entry that are deemed legislated facilities provided by the owner of those facility under section 6 of the Customs Act.

Questions on the Order Paper  Mr. Speaker, with regard to part (a), as of March 6, 2023, there were 140 individuals under immigration hold and subject to a removal order who were being housed in a provincial correctional facility. With regard to part (b), CBSA does not hold the requested information as it falls outside of the agency’s mandate.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police  Mr. Speaker, we thank the commission for its report and the important recommendations that it has made. We are reviewing the commission's recommendations, and will be working closely with provinces, territories, counterparts and civil society to respond in due course. We hope that the opposition parties are also reviewing all of the recommendations, not just the one on the RCMP, that dealt with gender-based violence and assault weapons, and that we could work together to implement the recommendations to save lives.

Indigenous Affairs  Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for her advocacy for putting a red dress alert in place across the country. As the member knows, I have made a commitment to work with her on this. Our budget also included a commitment to working on a red dress alert. I thank her for her advocacy, and I look forward to working with her to implement it.

Correctional Service of Canada  Mr. Speaker, our thoughts are with Terry Baker's family, friends and all who knew her. We were also disappointed that the inquest was delayed; we hoped that it would shed a light on the tragic and devastating events of 2016. I want to thank the hon. member for his advocacy. I look forward to continuing to work with him on conditions of confinement, not only at GVI but at institutions across the country.

Democratic Institutions  Mr. Speaker, foreign interference is an issue that we take seriously and it is not a partisan issue. That is why we appointed David Johnston, a non-partisan, experienced professional. It is unfortunate the members opposite laughed when I mentioned his name. He is a gentleman who has given his life to this country and will provide us with information that we will be acting on, including whether or not we hold a public inquiry.

Earth Day  Mr. Speaker, this Saturday, April 22, is Earth Day, which was first held in April of 1970. There are so many ways to get involved and demonstrate support for environmental protection. A few of the things that come to mind are becoming familiar with climate and environmental education, breaking free from single-use plastics, participating in a community cleanup, planting trees or donating funds to support the planting of trees, and fighting against fast fashion by supporting sustainable clothing.
