Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate my colleague from Joliette. His comments are always relevant and he is very eloquent when it comes time to defend the interests of Quebeckers. In this case, it is really the interests of Quebeckers that are at stake in every possible way. We are talking about the fight against organized crime. There is also the fact that the burden of proof is reversed and that the taxpayers should not have to pay to demonstrate that a criminal's assets are the proceeds of illegal criminal activities.
I would like to ask my colleague a question regarding RCMP detachments. Further to last week's unfortunate events in western Canada where four RCMP officers were killed by a drug dealer, how does he see the future of Joliette's detachment? Does he not feel that we should leave all those detachments open, including the one in Joliette?
I know that he is fighting hard for that. As he said earlier, he was responsible for setting up the Info-Crime committee in his region. It is a very dynamic committee that is proving successful in a difficult region. Where there is a lot of agricultural activity, there are also a lot of cannabis producers connected to biker gangs. What does he think about the reopening of the detachment in his riding?
