One of the things that was brought up in the last session that I'd like to follow is the responsibility of the federal government with the economics of policing, or the economics of public safety, as Chief Blais puts it.
I know, Chief Hanson, you had some things to say on that, but let me throw this out. Would it be useful to have a federal, maybe a central repository, a clearinghouse, if you will, of best practices, not only in Canada but in North America, Europe, and from around the world that police services in Canada could draw from? It may even extend to running courses and all sorts of other things. Would that be one way to go in terms of federal government involvement?
