Madam Speaker, I rise today to mark Police Week 2005, which takes place this year from May 15 to 21.
Police Week is a time to recognize the significant contributions of Canada's law enforcement officers who work to ensure the safety and security of our communities.
Throughout the week, community groups and police services across the country will host special activities and displays that promote police-community partnerships.
Today and for the rest of the week, I invite all Canadians to join me in expressing a heartfelt thank you to the men and women in our police forces, who are helping to create a better and safer Canada for us all.
