Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for a top-notch speech.
If I understand correctly, the NDP is determined to build safer communities. One can achieve this by improving the witness protection program and by giving police forces the added tools they need to deal with street gangs.
I would like my colleague to comment on what I read on the RCMP's website, which says:
There are instances when the costs of witness protection may impede investigations, particularly for smaller law enforcement agencies.
