Mr. Speaker, RCMP officers are being turned into bureaucrats. Instead of responding to calls and investigating crimes, the minister and RCMP brass think that in order to cut expenses an officer's time is better spent logging mileage and pushing paper.
On Friday in response to my concerns about inadequate funding for the RCMP, the solicitor general referred to an ongoing resource review. The RCMP do not need another study, they need adequate funding.
Is the solicitor general proud of the fact that under his government the RCMP's proud tradition has been reduced to that of the Kmart of policing?
