Thank you again, Mr. Chair.

I would simply like to remind everyone that the commissioner of the RCMP has complete authority over that.

The commissioner is accountable to the minister, but she has operational independence. No elected official has any influence over her or directs her in any way. This is a line that we must not cross.
