On behalf of the members of the committee, I want to thank our witnesses today for your brilliant testimony and especially for your candour. This is what we really need in panels like this, and we got it in great ways.
Chief Blake, I just want to share with you that the policeman I know best has three university degrees. Before he joined the RCMP he was doing archeological surveys overseen by the first nations. He got to be friends and joined them and was invited to reservations to participate in various activities. Of all the things he did prior to Depot, that may have been the strongest growth experience he had in terms of policing. There are some great people out there. I know that. Thank you for being here.
