Mr. Speaker, concrete proposals are exactly what we are offering the government, by calling for police forces to work together to fight gun trafficking.
However, the federal government is going in the opposite direction. Last year, the RCMP withdrew investigators from Quebec's national anti-organized crime squad. This summer, a retired police officer told La Presse that it is clear that the RCMP and the SQ are not talking as much today as they were a few years ago, adding that the forces still respect each other, but they do not talk to each other.
Why is the minister refusing to restore co-operation and create a joint task force?
