Thank you, Chair.
I'd like to begin with division 18.
The Ending the Long-Gun Registry Act was flawed in that it made no mention of the Access to Information Act. This omission means that records can't be destroyed until after any pre-existing access to information cases are closed. In April 2012, the Information Commissioner wrote to your minister about this legal requirement and asked that records not be destroyed. On May 2, the minister acknowledged her letter and promised that the RCMP would abide by the access to information law on these matters.
What's your interpretation of the RCMP's legal obligations at that time?
