Mr. Speaker, the Liberals favourite yesman is up to his old tricks again. Instead of realizing the funding shortage of the RCMP in British Columbia and supporting its call for much needed funds, the member from Coquitlam has called for an audit of the RCMP.
He said yesterday he thinks that the B.C. attorney general is doing a disservice to British Columbians by telling them about the staffing shortages and that he is fear mongering by doing so. The hon. member did not stop there. He said that he would like to give the attorney general of B.C. a night course in budgeting.
In an attempt to move up a few seats from the translators booth and out of the smoking section, the member has done a great disservice to members of the RCMP in British Columbia. He has told them there is no funding crisis and that they should stop talking about it so that the public remains in the dark.
Once again he has toed the government line instead of speaking up for his constituents and members of the British Columbia RCMP. The member can be assured that come next election the residents of Port Moody—Coquitlam—Port Coquitlam will say no to this yesman
