Mr. Speaker, cadet training has been suspended at the Regina depot.
I want to make it clear that this is a temporary suspension. It is temporary, because the RCMP is carrying out a detailed review of its programs and service delivery mechanisms across the country, not just in Regina, but throughout Canada, as part of its duty to manage its resources responsibly.
The RCMP must make the best possible use of its resources in order to focus on its primary mandate, which is policing.
Once the review is complete, a date will be set for the reopening of the RCMP training centre.
The RCMP is recognized the world over for the quality of its training, and our government will naturally do everything it can to see that this reputation continues.
