Mr. Speaker, moving the RCMP's forensic lab out of Saskatchewan costs valuable human resources, time and money.
The Minister of Public Works and Government Services is the only Liberal cabinet minister from Saskatchewan and he is supposed to be our voice at the cabinet table. He argues that a ballistics facility will replace the forensic lab. It does not. It is a trade-off.
Why does the minister not help our province build on existing resources rather than taking them away?
