Mr. Speaker, I stand on behalf of RCMP officers all over Canada and especially on behalf of those in the province of British Columbia. Why can the solicitor general not understand the chagrin, the anger and the frustration of RCMP officers when the commissioner flies out in the RCMP private jet for a retirement party while there is a cutback of $8.5 million, there is no overtime and there are no boats and no planes? Why can he not understand that?
In the House of Commons on November 2nd, 1998. See this statement in context.
