Nathalie Chambers Saanich Councillor

Supporting Duthie's stance, Coun. Nathalie Chambers opposed the police budget cut. “This is absolutely not OK with me,” she said. “We don't want to deliver a criminal response for our mental health situation." “The appropriate policing is within our control as councillors and… we have the opportunity here to fund a resource that will in fact give an integrated response rather than sending a criminal response for a mental health issue.”
