Mr. Speaker, over one hundred representatives of police associations are coming from across the country to meet in Ottawa and debate matters of concern to the police community.
The fifth annual legislative conference of the Canadian Police Association provides an opportunity for direct contact with those who play a vital role protecting Canadians. Public security is important to all Canadians. It is important to the government as well.
I encourage all members to use this valuable opportunity to meet these police officers, who make a major contribution to the safety of us all. They often have to work in very difficult conditions.
As Parliamentary Secretary to the Solicitor General of Canada, I salute them.
