Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for her question.
I would like to take the opportunity to ask her that same question, given that it is the Conservatives who are in power and who introduce bills.
Did they conduct their own studies and assess the costs that would be incurred? Did they assess the cost of extending emergency witness protection from 90 days to 180 days?
Did they then provide additional funding so that the police can do their job?
Did they read on the RCMP website that the organization already has trouble carrying out investigations because it lacks the funds to get people to testify?
