Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for Saint-Hyacinthe—Bagot for his remarks. First, it is a subject he knows very well because he has been fighting organized crime for a long time. Also, he was instrumental in founding Info-Crime, which he mentioned at the end of his speech. It was due to his initiative in the Saint-Hyacinthe region that I followed suit in Joliette. And now we have our own Info-crime committee.
I am wondering why the government members seem to be preparing to vote in favour of this motion. Once this motion has been adopted and later a bill introduced to reverse the burden of proof, would it not be consistent to review the decision that was made by the RCMP, and approved by the Minister of Public Safety, to close nine RCMP detachments? I know that my colleague is as aware as I am of the squatters who grow cannabis in farmers' fields. The farmers are often terrorized and do not dare turn them in. Would it not be logical, after the vote on this motion and the introduction of a bill, for the decision to close nine RCMP detachments in Quebec to be reversed?
