Mr. Speaker, one would think that the government would at least listen to its friends, and it does not have many.
As former Ottawa police chief and Conservative, Vernon White said:
What I am hearing from police agencies, (is that) the amount of resources having to be pushed into (counter-terrorism) work right now means there’s other work not getting done, in particular organized crime investigations. I’m not sure we can afford to do that.
I am not sure either. Could the minister explain to us why the Conservatives made cuts to public safety?
