Madam Speaker, I would like to point out that my colleague's speech was very thoughtful, covered a number of issues and was rather nuanced. I appreciate that and hold her in high regard.
My colleague raised the issue of public safety in rural areas. I am very concerned about that particular issue. I was in Notre‑Dame‑du‑Nord yesterday, a village near Ontario, in Témiscamingue, where thefts are becoming increasingly frequent. One possible solution is to have more resources for collaboration between the various police forces. I am thinking of the Sûreté du Québec and the Ontario Provincial Police, as well as the indigenous police forces.
My colleague mentioned that this is a problem elsewhere in rural Canada. Is she seeing an increase in organized crime in our regions? What solutions is she proposing?
