    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to contribute to the statement on the welfare of police officers. Without belabouring the point, the Maraga task force put out a report that had been filed. We are used to writing reports, going to conferences and workshops to drink tea and taking photos. What we should be discussing is how far the implementation of that report is. That report touches on the social welfare, housing and everything we are talking about today in this Senate. I have heard Sen. Chute talking about housing and how a curtain splits two families. If you look at the suicide and gender-based violence within the police force, whether it is their spouses or the actual police officers, it is rooted in these conditions that we are subjecting them.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
