Mr. Chair, on that point, it may not have an impact on the final report in a significant way. It may or may not. The odds are, you seem to be indicating, that it will not.
But there's a different principle at stake here. When commitments are made by institutions such as the RCMP to respond to a parliamentary committee, and if we are to function as an oversight body, when we allow these sorts of things to slide, it undermines the very roles and responsibilities we take on as parliamentarians and our committee work.
