Mr. Speaker, last week in the House the solicitor general declared: “Fighting organized crime is the number one law enforcement priority of the government”. The Canadian Police Association recently referred to organized crime in Canada as an epidemic.
If fighting organized crime is the number one priority of the government, can the solicitor general please explain why it spends hundreds of millions to register shotguns owned by duck hunters rather than improving public safety by giving the RCMP the resources it needs to fight organized crime?
