Good morning.
I'm very happy to be with you today. I must congratulate you on the good work you're doing. I think we can all agree on that.
Before we start looking at the budget, I'd like to ask you a question about security for MPs. When Jagmeet Singh had the bright idea to call me racist, I got tens of thousands of hate emails. One of the problems we have in our work is social media. I've received tens of thousands of messages, if not more, and several death threats. As a result, my constituency riding and my home have had to be monitored by the police in Roussillon, in my part of the country.
First of all, I'd like to know how security for MPs works. Have you been contacted? Did the RCMP contact the police?
I know that the employees in my office called the Roussillon police because they were worried about my safety. My children, who are 8 and 11 years old, found it extremely strange to see the police walking back and forth in front of our house; they were very worried and even scared.
Could you take a minute to talk about how you proceeded and whether you were involved in the situation?
