Staff Sergeant Frédéric Pincince (Staff Sergeant, Sensitive and International Investigations, Federal Policing, Ontario Division, Royal Canadian Mounted Police) at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

Thank you.

Mr. Chair, in relation to this, what the RCMP conducted, as far as the objective for the review of the matter.... We proceeded with a phased approach. Initially, we looked at the potential witnesses who could provide some information, as far as precision on the elements of the offence was concerned. We proceeded in this phased approach. As we proceeded, we determined whether there were any further investigative steps warranted, given the circumstances of the case.
