With respect, I believe that Mr. Mendicino, when he was Minister of Public Safety, actually publicly commented on this issue in 2023, saying that the police stations had been shut down. I think that this is a matter that concerns Canadians greatly, particularly groups that are targeted. Candidly, I'm a bit surprised that we can't even hear, in Parliament, whether or not there are police stations. I understand that there are active investigations or there might be—I'm not sure whether there might be. How can we not just say yes or no, these things are or are not operating, and how does that jeopardize an investigation?
