Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for the question.
Indeed, the most important issue here is what kind of training these people receive.
I strongly disagree with the comments made by the government whip earlier this morning and what the member for Yukon said later today, when they denigrated that training. I think those comments went too far.
Our security guards receive the best training there is. It is the best training given anywhere in Canada. We are talking about training in VIP bodyguard protection, immediate action, rapid deployment and firearms.
This service is already being provided by people who know us, and it works well. They have shown extraordinary courage and have had the best possible training.
That is why we need to listen to them. We must respect Canada's democratic values, vote in favour of the NDP amendment, and of course, vote against this motion—
