Mr. Speaker, I can inform my hon. colleague that the RCMP's budget is $1.2 billion a year. It received a $37 million increase in the last budget. It received a 9.5% pay increase over three years in 1998.

This government will give the RCMP and other police forces across the country the tools they need to fight organized crime.
