First of all, I would point out that the change I have recommended is not a new idea. It was actually one of the recommendations of the task force on governance and cultural change in the RCMP, and it has been endorsed by the Reform Implementation Council.
Generally speaking, I would say that the suggestion behind that recommendation, as I understand it, and it's certainly my view, is that the current regime--which includes, for example, our having to go to Treasury Board multiple times a year for approvals, and also the fact that there are many policies adopted by the Treasury Board for government writ large--is not particularly responsive to a policing organization. Our desire is to have policies and oversight that are tailored to the realities of policing. Certainly we think that is a way to be more efficient.
