MPP Kristyn Wong-Tam

Thank you to the member across. I think this is where you get to sort of play with words, but let me share with you what some of these words are.

In Finland, they have seen their trust in police fall from 95% to 91%. In Canada, Canadians have a great deal less confidence in police, by 41%, and the major difference is that in Finland, their Police University College completes a three-year, research-intensive university degree in policing before they even get into a uniform and get into a cruiser. That’s what’s going to give us more trust in our police. That’s what’s going to build us a modernized, effective policing force, and I really want to get there.
