Countryside crime statistics point to a need for governments to seek guidance from deep within their collective core, the Alberta legislature heard recently from UCP side of the chamber.

Grant Hunter, the member for Taber-Warner in southeastern Alberta, said protecting people and their property is a foundational role of governments everywhere.

“When civilizations first made their collective decisions to forgo a portion of their individualistic tendencies and band together, it was with the intent to add a measure of protection to their families and societies as a whole,” Hunter said.

“Today, governments across the globe have expanded their scope and practice. Working together for a common goal has on the whole benefited humanity and has enriched a civilized society,” he told the legislature Oct. 31.

“But we should never forget the primary reason why we first formed governments, and that was and still is to protect its people.”
