Public Safety committee I'd be happy to answer it. I understood the question to be are there increases—

Commr Bob Paulson
Public Safety committee No. We're not spending money to help the Americans with their initiatives. We're spending money to help Canadians work with the Americans on similar initiatives, in terms of technology and patrols and integrated efforts in patrolling and inland investigations. So, we are.

Commr Bob Paulson
Public Safety committee What I would say is that I'm aware of Montreal in particular and my good colleague Marc Parent and his work against the street gangs. It is a real challenge in some of our bigger communities. I think it falls to every police leader in major cities or, in my case, in some major

Commr Bob Paulson
Public Safety committee That's my understanding: that there is funding for the new complaints commission. I think it will be helpful.
March 21st, 2013Committee meeting
Commr Bob Paulson
Public Safety committee Thank you for your question. However, it is not up to me to make decisions about the external commission. I think we want to have an arm's-length committee, so funding decisions about either the External Review Committee or the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP a

Commr Bob Paulson
Public Safety committee I can't say specifically 50%, but I know that some of the smaller communities that we service are struggling with the costs of policing.
March 21st, 2013Committee meeting
Commr Bob Paulson
Public Safety committee Of course, we police at the three levels, and we do this. For example, at the national level there is the deficit reduction action plan. We've done that; we have initiatives and we're re-calibrating. We do it provincially: each of my COs is doing it on a provincial basis. And m
March 21st, 2013Committee meeting
Commr Bob Paulson
Public Safety committee I can say that in these main estimates there is a net increase for the appropriations to the RCMP, attributable to the new contract policing model. We have about an 8% increase going into this year.
March 21st, 2013Committee meeting
Commissioner Bob Paulson
Public Safety committee It's a pretty big, broad brush on our operations. Whatever we've done in the last year or two to make our operations more efficient has been behind operations. The idea is that we're not impacting operations.

Status of Women committee I'm sure there is, but I'm afraid I don't know it.
February 26th, 2013Committee meeting
Commr Bob Paulson
Status of Women committee Thank you, Chair. That initiative was to satisfy myself that every employee of the organization was having these issues put before them in such a way that the supervisor could be satisfied by looking into the whites of their eyes, making sure they're having that conversation, an
February 26th, 2013Committee meeting
Commr Bob Paulson
Status of Women committee As I've gone across the country and I've met with supervisors, I have noticed that they're stepping up a little bit. Some of them have some reservations and are looking forward to some of the changes that will come forward with Bill C-42, but I have noticed a renewed attentivenes
February 26th, 2013Committee meeting
Commr Bob Paulson
Status of Women committee There's just a broader awareness. I don't know that we needed the training to get the awareness of the issue; I think the issue is front and centre in every Canadian's mind. But yes, I have noticed an awareness of and a sensitivity to the issues of a respectful workplace and how
February 26th, 2013Committee meeting
Commr Bob Paulson
Status of Women committee As I said this morning, it's mandatory training, and I'm touting 94% as a success. It should be 100%. We're trying to close that loop. There are a number of reasons for that, and the reasons relate to our network and members getting online and some guys and gals just having to ge
February 26th, 2013Committee meeting
Commr Bob Paulson
Status of Women committee Thank you for the question. The training is provided to all categories of employees. Everyone has to take this training. Regarding evaluation, I can tell you the following. That's done according to the percentage of people who are taking it and succeeding at it, and the respons
