Mr. Speaker, it is a shameful that a member from across the aisle was involved in a rally to defund our police.
On the one hand, I spoke with police officers last week. They are looking to us. They are looking to the Government of Canada to provide them more tools. They need more men. A while ago there was an announcement that 1,000 new police officers would be hired, and none have been hired.
On the other hand, the Liberals are announcing that they are going to those rallies because they want to defund the RCMP. That is not right.
