Text

Thank you, Mr Speaker. I am getting another one in. Is there strategic planning and adequate funding to ensure that the justice system can effectively protect and serve the public? Albeit not exclusively, but a reduced police presence and 15 years of underfunding have increased pressures, with an adverse effect on crime prevention and crime detection.
