First of all, I thi
nk the government's line would probably be that the fe
deral government is responsible for the Criminal Code, and the provinces and municipal police forces are responsible, pretty much, for all aspects of enforcement and therefore the federal government doesn't really have a major responsibility to fund policing across the land. Do you find there's a dual message being sent when, for example, despite this message of respect for jurisdictions, the government brings in a temporary police recruitment fund which is used
...[+++]to fund things like the Eclipse program in Montreal, and then withdraws funding under the notion that policing is really a municipal or provincial responsibility?
Pensez-vous qu'il s'agit d'un message contradictoire si, par exemple, on parle du respect des champs de compétence, mais que le gouvernement met en place, de façon ponctuelle, un fonds de recrutement des policiers temporaire qui sert à financer des activités telles que le programme Eclipse à Montréal, pour ensuite le retirer en disant que les services de police relèvent en fait des municipalités ou des provinces?
