Trudeau says more ministers, MPs could get security details as threats grow
“We’re all aware that the number of threats and aggressive speeches, whether in person or online, is increasing,” Rayes said in French.
Last year, members of Parliament were issued panic buttons and offered security assessments of their offices and their private homes.The RCMP has dedicated security details for the Governor General and the prime minister, but other cabinet ministers only receive protection on specific occasions or in response to specific concerns.
A senior government source confirmed that a funding request has been made to Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland to help the RCMP dedicate additional officers to its VIP protection service.Families Minister Karina Gould said she has needed RCMP protection a few times, and the threats are far worse now than they were when she was first elected eight years ago.
