Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for coming today.
I was about to make a speech, but I won't. I think the work you do in two ways is some of the most important work. It's defending civil rights and ensuring that Canadians are treated fairly by the agencies you're involved in reviewing. Second, I think you build up the confidence that the public can have in those agencies, because, Mr. McColeman says, mistakes are made. It's critical for the reputation of those agencies, those services, that you do your work, so I'm in full support.
I want to thank you, Mr. Kennedy, for your candour, not only today but previously. I also want to express a disappointment that the chair of SIRC is not here. I think you're more limited, Ms. Pollak, as an employee of the agency, and I think that causes some difficulty for our committee in being able to get some of these answers. I express that concern now.
I have three quick questions. First, do you do joint investigations?
