Mr. Speaker, the RCMP is badly underfunded in Canada and the minister is planning to shut down seven detachments in the province of Quebec. The solicitor general has stated that organized crime is one of his number one priorities.
With biker wars taking place in Quebec and with one of our own members of parliament under 24 hour RCMP protection, can the minister tell us when he is going to stop slashing resources for the RCMP and increase its funding so we can go after organized crime?
