Stopper sometimes. Tough to have a normal interaction with someone after you tell them they are being recorded. I understand the value of it. Part of when we talk about some of the impacts of ferguson people want Police Officers to be accountable. They want transparency. They want to know cops are doing what they are supposed to do. 99. 9 of the time, my cops are doing exactly what they are supposed to do. The cameras are going to confirm that for the public and anybody else who is interested. Host do they go on automatically . How do they work . Guest you have to turn them on. We are in a Pilot Program now. Weve just gone. Ive got about 80 to 100 officers wearing the cameras right now. The officers are allowed to turn them off under certain circumstances. If they are going in to the locker room, going to the bathroom. If you and i are Police Officers and we are in the back of the station just talking about our kids and baseball and all that, you do not have to have your camera on. But
Attorney, maybe i do not suffer the tragedy of knowledge that this is more complicated than it seems. We seem to be in violent agreement. We have a 67page opinion.

Mulcair, and steven harper. Tonights debate will cover four broad subjects at the top of voters minds the Economy Energy and the environment the state of canadas democracy in Foreign Policy and security. Each segment will begin with questions forrom me. Another leader will respond followed by an extended discussion among all the leaders. We will go through that process twice for each of our four subjects. We drew lots to determine the speaking order. Everybody here knows that order but nobody in any of the parties have seen or heard the questions i will be asking tonight. The parties have agreed that at any point i can intervene to direct conversation. Lets begin with our first topic, the economy. This is one subject on everybodys mind as the election approaches, the economy. We have dangerous economic wind flowing in canada. The countrys Economic Health is shaky. We are coming out of a mild recession. Oil prices have slumped, exports are weak. What ottawas proper role in the canada .

Project of reform. Mr. Trudeau doesnt want to have a referendum on reform. Stephen harper wants in he once any change to go through a reform process. Mr. Harper we have a westminster system. Voters are able to elect governments, not coalitions later. Canadians this has come up before. It was the subject of a referendum in ontario and Prince Edward island. I have not found canadians who want to make this change. In fact, when asked, they reject it. Lets play under the rules. Mr. Wells when he brought in his unfair elections act, he refused to talk to canadians. We stood up strong and opposed it. We shut down travel by parliamentarian committees. We used every tool to stop him from walking away. He has made it harder for whole classes of canadians to vote. That is not just our opinion. All of the experts who have looked at his unfair elections act has said the same thing have said the same thing. Mr. Harper, if you have become such a keen fan making sure no single party can change the ru
