Mr. Speaker, my colleague and I represent rural areas but, as has been said today, the bill is not just about rural areas, it is about Canada.
Rural areas are likely to experience longer timelines when it comes to law enforcement officers showing up after a crime has been committed.
I want to thank my colleague for his involvement as a former law enforcement officer prior to becoming a member of Parliament.
Some of the debate today has indicated that the bill would instigate vigilantism. I wonder if my colleague has any comments to make about whether the bill is really about driving vigilantism or about protecting our property wherever we live.
