Mr. Speaker, May 13 to 19 is National Police Week. The purpose is to raise public awareness and forge stronger ties between police forces and the communities they serve.
Police week results from a collaborative effort between the Government of Canada and the provincial solicitors general. This week will be marked by special activities and displays that promote the idea of co-operation and interaction between police and their communities to promote public safety and well-being. We invite Canadians to participate in these activities.
Our police are extremely devoted, courageous and vigilant. We are proud to take this opportunity to recognize their hard work in ensuring that our communities are safe and secure.
