Mr. Speaker, this is not a provincial issue. It is happening all the way across Canada. This is a populated area of 5,000 square miles left without a single permanent RCMP officer or detachment. It will have 100 miles of unprotected border.
In the last two months the government has spent money like drunken sailors. The other night it just approved another $65 million for a useless gun registry.
With all that spending, why is there not enough money to provide my constituents with the same basic services that are granted to other Canadians?
