Thank you very much. I hope the hon member did not say that we are putting in place "suspicious" steps. Did you say that? What did you say? [Interjections.] Sufficient? Oh, sorry. My ears are 65 years old this year. [Interjections.] At times I don't hear. You are much younger than some of the ancients who are sitting over there. [Laughter.]
Madam Deputy Speaker, there is nothing that is as overwhelmingly wrong and in fact highly criminal as law-enforcement agencies that facilitate escapes by these criminals. Because when they do that, they are actually allowing people like that to go out and kill their colleagues, which has happened in the past.
We are taking a very, very serious view of that matter. In fact, we are looking at measures to deal seriously with people who would allow for this. I may also mention the fact that we are putting together systems that will ensure that those who murder these officials are going to face the full might of the law, because we cannot allow a situation where our members are murdered. Therefore, if it is their own colleagues, in the first instance, who create conditions for them to be murdered, we want to do something which is going to be very drastic to deal with that situation. We are investigating every avenue that relates to escaped criminals, to find out if there is anyone in the Service who might be culpable for such an escape. Thank you.
