It’s very interesting; I’ll just say that when we graduated over 110 OPP cadets to constables just a couple of weeks ago, they said to me that when people step forward to say that their community safety matters, the interest in enrolment picks up immediately. So what we all have to do from all sides of this House is simple: We have to say that our public safety matters and that we have the backs of everyone who keeps us safe.

I’ll tell you something that’s even more important. I want to, by the way, give a shout-out to Chief Crowell, the great chief at Waterloo region. I said to him that we’re committed to building the Runnymede centre for first responders, a respite for first responders who will be able to go to Caledon—the location will be Caledon. That’s an example where we view the actions—what are we doing? We’re building the Runnymede centre. We’re going to build a centre where people can go and get the help that they need. This is what’s important, what we’re doing. The actions speak louder than the words.
