Making Our Communities Safer

From fighting crime in Thunder Bay, to enforcing the border on our lakes and waterways, Marcus supports the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect our communities. He’s fighting every day to make sure all law enforcement officers have the resources, training, and support they need to do their jobs well.

This includes helping law enforcement fight crimes on our border like human trafficking, drug smuggling, and illegal fishing. Marcus has been pushing the government to reopen the RCMP post in Fort Frances and to increase CBSA and RCMP patrols on our waterways. A secure border is key to keeping our communities and resources safe.

In 2023, Marcus helped secure ‘guns and gangs’ funding for the Thunder Bay Police and Nishnawbe Aski Police. He been a long-time supporter of Indigenous policing in Thunder Bay - Rainy River. When communities have the resources to meet their own law enforcement needs, policing improves, and communities are safer.

Marcus’ experience in the Emergency Room showed him first-hand the effects of violent crime. In Ottawa, he has advocated for bail reform, updated sentencing guidelines, and other changes to make our communities safer.
