Forty seconds.
Commissioner Head, how does the disciplinary process differ in comparison with the Correctional Service of Canada? Certainly there are more well-publicized incidents and cases coming out of the RCMP, but we don't seem to have comparable problems with some of the other Public Safety commissions. I'm curious to know if there's a different process in play with respect to your officers.

Commissioner, Correctional Service of Canada
We follow the Treasury Board policies that govern the core public administration, so part of what Commissioner Paulson is talking about is trying to replicate some of those aspects. The processes that are available to us are available to all federal government departments, but the RCMP has a different status and therefore different rules, as it stands right now.

The Chair Conservative Kevin Sorenson
Thank you very much, Mr. Rathgeber.
Again, we want to thank Minister Toews for appearing before our committee today, as well as the heads of the departments. Some got more questions than others, but thank you for your input into the estimates.
We are adjourned, and we will reconvene in about five minutes.
