Thank you for that.
From what I know from my background and from many friends and former colleagues in the RCMP, as well as from travelling across the country on many issues related to my portfolio in public safety, training on issues of handguns, carbines and officer safety tactics is not consistent across the country in the RCMP. You might have a funnel point, or touch point, in the Maritimes, with the ability to have your members recertified when they go there, but it's different from those around Regina or Ottawa.
Is it possible that the RCMP may expand their ability to recertify by involving private gun instructors who are fully qualified, as much or sometimes more than our own members would be? Is that a possibility for getting those recertification numbers up in those areas where we are falling short?
