The issue of representation is not resolved at this point, and if you want to rule me out of order you can, but I think it's important.
The SRRs have been involved in this process, and whatever ruling was made, whether or not it is appealed, is suspended for 18 months. So the SRRs are still the official group. If that should change, because the legislation doesn't put your organization in charge either, and there is another organization, whether it's yours or some other that represents the RCMP members, it's probably that organization that would play a role in an advisory capacity. It may come back before legislation anyway and in a while.
I guess this is a question our committee will have to grapple with, but I am interested in your opinion. There seem to be some serious technical problems with what we're dealing with here. Mr. Cape hasn't been able to answer them because he doesn't have the facts and they don't have the research done. I'm not saying whether they should or they shouldn't have; perhaps they should have.
If this legislation has to be reviewed potentially within a year or two anyway, and as Mr. Cape says, it's an ongoing process, would it be wrong for this committee to accept the legislation and ask that there be further work done on this aspect and maybe it could be changed in a year or two?
