Halifax's police board is delaying a second vote on funding for the RCMP's 2024-25 budget until the new year, after staff said last month's budget vote was the subject of a procedural mistake.
The Canada Border Services Agency and the RCMP say the man is facing a number of smuggling and firearms-related offences. He is scheduled to appear at Dartmouth provincial court on March 7.
As police ask the Halifax Regional Municipality’s budget committee to support an increase to their budgets, some members of the public argue that money should go elsewhere.
