It happened as Farnworth fielded Opposition questions — more like accusations really — about the time it is taking to vet Surrey council’s plan to abandon its stand-alone police force and transition back to the RCMP.
Not a coincidence that Farnworth mentioned Prince George, because Bond is also a longtime MLA for that city. He is looking for a plan that will ensure adequate policing services in Surrey without impacting the rest of the province.
