Mr. Speaker, there should be no more excuses and no more empty promises.
The city and the province are waiting for the government's approval for 100 new RCMP officers. The people of Surrey need more police on the streets now. They need more gang prevention and drug crime prevention funding.
Conservatives' self-congratulation for their failures is not going to fix the problem. The violence on our streets is real, and the government needs to take real action.
Will the minister commit, here and now, to approve the new officers and resources, and provide clear timelines for when they will arrive?
