Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to preface my comments today by thanking those from our police forces, who are our witnesses here, for your service and for your sacrifice. It is greatly appreciated.
Deputy Commissioner McDonald, have you or anyone else at the RCMP been asked by anyone in the B.C. NDP government or the federal Liberal government, from the beginning of 2023 to today, including elected officials, staff of elected officials, department staff or anyone, to not speak publicly about safe supply-related drug seizures?
