Again, I want to emphasize this. From coast to coast to coast, in all parts of Canada, for a citizen in Iqaluit or in Canwood or in Regina, Saskatchewan, or in northern B.C., for us as Canadian citizens, the RCMP and municipal services exist for our community and public safety. When we need assistance, we call law enforcement to help us. That's the approach that I've engaged in discussions on and worked on through my experience.
My discussions with the RCMP and elders and first nations and communities are about community policing and working together. How can we address this together, and not as one group separate from another? I want to clarify that the discussions around increased funding, from the RCMP to municipal services to first nations and other groups, is always a must. Canada must support that.
