Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being here this morning. I found the way you presented this to us interesting. It was clear and precise, and you cited women and children as examples. But you'll have to go further because what you're requesting in sections 9 and 7 goes much further than that.
You've presented the good side to make us aware of the issue. Ultimately, in the case of pedophiles, we could give you freedom to investigate in order to obtain information. However, that would open the door to all other investigations. However, public trust in your service has crumbled in recent years. Having read the O'Connor report, I can tell you that you're loosening the reins a little too much. Information is being shared left and right. In that sense, your service has some deficiencies.
I know your book contains disciplinary measures. However, are you going to tighten up your watch over the information given to you so that it remains in your service and can't be used or shared and that what has happened does not reoccur?
This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. I read the document that is distributed to all members every year on complaints concerning the RCMP. It's quite thick. So there's a lot of work to do. I'd like to know what you intend to do to better protect the personal information that you're going to gather from any agency and anyone.
