I have a very good working relationship with the Waterloo Regional Police Service, and they’ve been here for 11 years, lobbying. They’ve always asked for increased mental health supports, because as we all know, these issues end up in the back of a cruiser or they end up in conflict. They’ve also acknowledged that oversight of police services is actually necessary.

So my question is: Why is this government removing the Ontario Provincial Police Governance Advisory Council? They were advocating for mental health supports for police officers and for community. Are you not concerned that by removing this level of accountability, trust will be further compromised in some of our communities?
