Mr. Speaker, pursuant to subsection 20(5) of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act, it is my pleasure to table, in both official languages, the 2010 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games security cost-sharing memorandum of agreement.
This agreement clearly shows that the Government of Canada is proudly working with the Government of British Columbia to have the Royal Canadian Mounted Police provide policing and security during the 2010 winter games.
The provision of policing and security for the games is one of the Government of Canada's commitments for the peaceful holding of the games. Under this agreement, the Government of Canada and the province of B.C. will share the costs of RCMP security planning and operations directly related to the 2010 Winter Games.
