Mr. Speaker, the failures and weaknesses in the system are nothing new. They have been around for a long time and are being exacerbated by the policies instituted and the new legislation brought about by our friends opposite. It is a disgrace to see this kind of legislation being brought forward. It is an insult to the officers working the border posts and the police officers working the border communities, because they are not seeing the help they need. These kinds of cuts are undermining and eroding the trust not just of police officers in the communities but also of us here in this chamber.
The government is all talk and no action. People out there are saying that they have had enough of the smoke and mirrors show. They want results. They want action. They want the government to show them that it is doing something for them, rather than just putting out slogans and playing politics with their lives and their future.
