Yes. Thank you, Madam Chair.
Essentially, BQ‑14 seeks to delete lines 5 to 14 on page 445, which say, among other things, that the minister within the meaning of the Pensions Act may disclose information to the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness and the Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for the administration and management of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
We are asking for these lines to be removed primarily because the RCMP officers' union has expressed its concerns to us on this matter. It fears that this could be used against its members and that the exchange of information could be used very liberally, so to speak, even though I know that the word “liberal” may seem pejorative to you. The union is therefore asking us to delete these lines for the protection of its members.
