I appreciate that very much. Certainly the RCMP officers and our border officers work very hard, and I'm very grateful for their courage and their dedication to the job.
My concern is that the RCMP is facing staffing issues across the country, particularly in rural and northern Canada. If the idea is to pull from those resources, would that not endanger, say, rural Manitoba? I know that my home province does face RCMP staffing issues, and we do have border crossers between the many kilometres between our ports of entry in that regard. Wouldn't there be a concern for those local communities if those RCMP resources were pulled and put in between the ports?
