CPS also has the lowest Police to Population ratios of major cities in Canada, meaning they already have fewer cops to manage the fastest(or one of) growing population in Canada. Stretching fewer cops over a ever growing city in both size and population is playing with fire.

I don't believe anyone is arguing to reduce the police budget causing less officers on the streets. They are arguing that the CPS has never been forced to work with a set number, and every time talk of reducing or holding their budget steady we get the fear mongering of losing cops on the street.
Surely in that giant beaurocracy there is fat to be trimmed that would lower our costs per officer and allow the same level in the street, if not more.
