In Montreal, the RCMP ran an exchange and double cashing operation. It was an easy way to make contact with street gangs, organized groups, drug dealers, etc. and to gather a lot of information.
Just 10 days ago, 17 persons with very disturbing intentions relating to Parliament Hill were arrested. Under these circumstances, I cannot see how you can avoid covert operations. Obviously, they must be controlled. I believe it is absolutely essential to do it in order, at least, to be on an equal footing with criminals who can cause serious harm to our population.
