Mr. Speaker, the RCMP and the Canadian Border Services Agency play critical roles in regard to the safety of Canadians.
Violent crime is increasing in the streets of our major cities like Vancouver, meanwhile the government cuts $29 million from the RCMP budget. These crimes are being committed with illegal arms coming across the border, meanwhile the government cuts $12 million from the CBSA budget.
Canadians feel less safe than they did three years ago. Is this the Conservative version of tough on crime?
