Public Safety committee  It was, but the commission didn't try to revisit the same areas that Mr. Justice Braidwood did in his report. The commission looked at the state of usage of tasers and made certain recommendations, in essence that the RCMP improve its training and adopt appropriate policies. We've monitored taser usage each year since that time, and I would certainly not suggest that it's only because of the commission's report.

Public Safety committee  We're not typically, although we could be.

Public Safety committee  I wonder if I could jump in here.

Public Safety committee  Yes, and this was one of the points I raised, and I expressed the hope that the committee would consider that absolutely there must be service standards. It's a good thing they're legislated for the commission. The commission over the past while has established very aggressive service standards.

Public Safety committee  That's correct.

Public Safety committee  That's correct.

Public Safety committee  Very simply, in the last three years, since I've been at the CPC, there have been no public inquiries. We've conducted our work through investigations and reviews.

Public Safety committee  That's correct.

Public Safety committee  It's a little more complex than that.

Public Safety committee  Yes, and unfortunately, we probably need quite a bit more time. I can commence, as chair, what's called a chair-initiated complaint, but that's after the fact.

Public Safety committee  Exactly. For example, there might be a report in the media of a specific incident that clearly is problematic. As chair, I can commence an investigation into that on the basis that it's in the public interest that the commission do so. A specified activity review is much broader.

Public Safety committee  That's correct. It could, for example, be as a result of a certain pattern we might be seeing in the reports we are doing.

Public Safety committee  No, we can't do that.

Public Safety committee  We can't do that now. If we were to see a certain pattern that was causing us concern, we'd be able to initiate a specified activities review.

Public Safety committee  That really came more through the media. In terms of how our reviews can affect the culture of the RCMP, I think the commission's work on CEW usage was very instrumental and is a good example.
