Moncton council discussed whether to spend millions of dollars more on protective services as the city's 2025 budget meetings continued on Wednesday. The city's protective services department includes bylaw enforcement, fire department and the RCMP contract. "We talked a lot yesterday about growth in the municipality, and with growth obviously comes demand for service," Jeff Preston, the department's general manager, told council Wednesday. "And we're also dealing with, as we all know, a lot of social issues, which also is contributing to ... demand for service." A $9.5-million increase for policing is one of the largest spending hikes in the city's proposed $223.8-million operating budget. Major spending hike for Codiac RCMP proposed, adding 17 officers Moncton proposing to cut tax rate by 6.2 cents for most of city That increase includes money to add 17 more police officers in Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview. It would increase the budgeted number of officers from 156 this year to 173. The 17 Mounties are part of a three-year plan by the Codiac Regional Policing Authority , the civilian board overseeing Codiac RCMP, to add 46 officers. The budget also earmarks funds to hire five municipal employees in supporting roles for Codiac. Councillors questioned how the added staff would affect crime rates, police visibility and traffic enforcement. Supt. Benoit Jolette, the commanding officer of Codiac Regional RCMP, says the added staff will help them follow up on criminal cases. (Shane Magee/CBC) RCMP Supt. Benoit Jolette, Codiac's commanding officer, said it would help address crime against people and property and would help solve cases. "We're really good at getting to the calls really quickly and placing people in custody, laying charges," Jolette said. "But where we're struggling is that follow-up, doing all those neighbourhood inquiries, checking for video and all that, increasing our solvability rate." He said freeing up patrol officers from longer-term tasks would allow them to do other work in the community. "By the middle to the end of 2025 ... I foresee a dramatic increase in the amount of traffic tickets that we're going to be issuing because the members are going to have more time," Jolette said. Proposed Moncton budget includes more money for police, fire, aims to reduce hit to taxpayers Several councillors said they hope the province and health authorities increase spending on addictions and mental health services, including increasing the operating hours for a mobile mental health crisis unit, to address social issues that factor into crime. "I can accept this year that we require extra officers so that we can take some pressure too off the existing officers," Coun. Charles Leger said, adding he hopes there's a future discussion about other ways to address crime. The budget discussion Wednesday also included the city's fire department. The spending plan includes hiring four more firefighters and increasing the minimum number on duty from 21 to 22. Several councillors said they hoped to see the province spend more on addictions treatment and mental health care. (Shane Magee/CBC) Fire Chief Conrad Landry said the increase will mean a second firefighter on a rescue truck when responding to medical calls. A fire department master plan is under development that will look at how many staff the city needs, how many fire stations and how much equipment, as well as other aspects of its operation. "It's going to be quite comprehensive," Landry said. That report is expected to be completed in the first few months of 2025. However, no money to implement possible recommendations has been included in the budget, staff told council. Councillors are expected to vote Thursday on whether to approve the budget.California man accused of shipping guns, ammunition and military devices to North Korea44 bet 。

Taoiseach Simon Harris said he also wanted to tell Nikita Hand, a hair colourist from Drimnagh, that her case had prompted an increase in women coming forward to ask for support. Ms Hand, who accused the sportsman of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a civil case at the High Court in the Irish capital on Friday. The total amount of damages awarded to Ms Hand by the jury was 248,603.60 euro (£206,714.31). Mr McGregor said in a post on social media on Friday that he intends to appeal against the decision. That post has since been deleted. Speaking to the media on Saturday, Mr Harris said he told Ms Hand of the support she has from people across Ireland. “I spoke with Nikita today and I wanted to thank her for her incredible bravery and her courage,” he said. “I wanted to make sure that she knew how much solidarity and support there was across this country for her bravery. “I also wanted to make sure she knew of what the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre had said yesterday – that so many other women have now come forward in relation to their own experiences of sexual abuse as a result of Nikita’s bravery.” The Dublin Rape Crisis Centre said the case has had a “profound effect” on the people the charity supports, and that over the first 10 days of the High Court case, calls to its national helpline increased by almost 20%. It said that first-time callers increased by 50% compared to the same period last year, and were largely from people who had experienced sexual violence who were distressed and anxious from the details of case and the views people had to it. Mr Harris said: “I wanted to speak with her and I wanted to wish her and her daughter, Freya, all the very best night, and I was very grateful to talk with Nikita today. “Her bravery, her courage, her voice has made a real difference in a country in which we must continue to work to get to zero tolerance when it comes to domestic, sexual and gender-based violence. “I don’t want to say too much more, because conscious there could be further legal processes, but I absolutely want to commend Nikita for her bravery, for her courage, for using her voice.” Justice Minister Helen McEntee praised Ms Hand’s bravery and said she had shown “there is light at the end of the tunnel”. She said: “I just want to commend Nikita for her bravery, for her determination and the leadership that she has shown in what has been – I’ve no doubt – a very, very difficult time for her and indeed, for her family. She added: “Because of wonderful people like Nikita, I hope that it shows that there is light at the end of the tunnel, that there are supports available to people, and that there is justice at the end of the day.” Ms Hand said in a statement outside court on Friday that she hoped her case would remind victims of assault to keep “pushing forward for justice”. Describing the past six years as “a nightmare”, she said: “I want to show (my daughter) Freya and every other girl and boy that you can stand up for yourself if something happens to you, no matter who the person is, and justice will be served.” During the case, Ms Hand said she was “disappointed and upset” when the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) decided not to prosecute the case after she made a complaint to the Irish police. In a letter to her in August 2020, the DPP said there was “insufficient evidence” and there was not a reasonable prospect of conviction. Ms Hand asked the DPP to review the decision, saying she felt she was being treated differently because one of the suspects was famous. Asked about the DPP’s decision not to prosecute, Mr Harris and Ms McEntee stressed the importance of the DPP’s independence on whether to prosecute. “There are obviously structures in place where the DPP can meet a victim and can outline to them their reasons for not taking the case,” Mr Harris said. “But there’s also always an opportunity for the DPP in any situation – and I speak broadly in relation to this – to review a decision, to consider any new information that may come to light, and I don’t want to say anything that may ever cut across the ongoing work of the DPP.” Ms McEntee stressed that there should “never be any political interference” in the independence of the DPP’s decisions. “I have, since becoming minister, given priority to and enabled a new office within the DPP to open specifically focused on sexual offences, so that this issue can be given the focus and the priority that it needs,” she said.Update on Impact of Canada Post Strike
