Mr. Speaker, the minister has just said that this a great day for swindlers, crooks, thieves and con artists. It is open season.
When the police admit that they lack the financial resources to enforce our laws, what signal does this send to criminals? Swindle the public and if they are caught, nothing will happen.
If that is the best answer the solicitor general can give to resolve this problem, perhaps he should step aside and let someone else come in and do the job decently.
