Madam Speaker, reinforcements are on their way to Ottawa for the weekend. Once again, these reinforcements are not coming to support the police, but rather the occupiers.
The Ottawa police chief requested an additional 1,800 officers four days ago.
Police officers and the Parliamentary Protective Service have been working around the clock and deserve federal support.
Will the minister confirm that law enforcement will get the required 1,800 officers, or will the occupiers get the upper hand for the third weekend in a row?
