Mr. Speaker, that would take leadership from the Conservative government on this file.
The tragic shooting in Moncton, last June 4, exposed some serious problems within the RCMP. Officers complain about the lack of firearms and training for dealing with such situations, so much so that the RCMP is now in court for Labour Code infractions and endangering its employees.
Can the minister tell us how many RCMP officers are still waiting for adequate equipment or training?
