Mr. Speaker, yesterday the solicitor general said that the RCMP was given $64 million to fill any gaps and to hire new RCMP officers as needed.
I remind the solicitor general that in 1994 the government cut $175 million over some years and 2,200 positions.
In that $64 million that was announced, how many new officers will that bring into the force and to what new positions? Could he announce that today?
