Mr. Speaker, Claims · 61 wordsI recently had the opportunity to meet Superintendent Locke and Sergeant Peterson of the Toronto Police Service 33 Division, join a ride-along and see first-hand the important work our officers do every day to keep our community safe.¹ Given heightened tensions, local police are increasing patrols around places of worship.² We visited Temple Emanu-El synagogue, ³which faced multiple gunshots last month.⁴ Reasoning · 20 wordsWhether at a mosque, synagogue, church or gurdwara, everyone should be able to practice their faith in peace and safety. Thanks · 46 wordsI am grateful for the dedication of officers in protecting residents and responding to incidents with care and diligence. I ask my colleagues to join me in thanking our frontline police officers, firefighters and other first responders for their hard work to keep our communities safe.Thanks
