That's great--but what if organized crime crosses provincial boundaries, which it does? I direct the question to the RCMP.
To help our friends in the municipal police forces who find themselves prosecuting organized crime, which reaches right across the country and across the continent and around the world, is there not an argument that there should be some more robust structural federal inputs, investments, including the kind of money that's needed to tackle organized crime?
There is no federal jurisdictional thumbprint on this. If there's an organized crime prosecution, it happens because a municipal police force or a provincial force undertakes an investigation prosecution.
Is the RCMP even close to recommending that the force itself have access to funds that allow it to go in and partner and fund and macro-investigate and macro-prosecute, even with federal prosecutors, organized crime operations that cross interprovincial boundaries?
