Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, I am always puzzled to hear those types of criticisms from the Conservative Party. When the Conservatives formed the government, they proceeded to make the biggest cuts to our intelligence services and our police forces, such as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, th

Public Safety  Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Kenora for this interesting adjournment debate. It is a topic that concerns us. To answer the question he asked at the very end, I can assure him that there is nothing in Bill C-21 that takes aim at the vast majority of law-abiding Canadian
