Police training is a tangible contribution that is genuinely changing things on the ground. This country is making a fairly substantial financial contribution, the $29.8 million that has been allocated for paying police salaries between 2002 and 2008. Canada's total commitment for police training amounts to about $39.8 million.
The work on the ground is effective. A few years ago, the police had no uniforms and no equipment. A few months later, they had proper training and uniforms. I am very pleased about this. The situation has changed completely.
Every day brings a new challenge, and the people on site have a responsibility to deliver the goods for Canada. And they are doing an excellent job of it.
