Sir, I did not make the decision to put this agency in place, but what I can tell you is that, from my perspective, it's warranted. It goes back to my answer to Ms. Begum. At the moment, the system lacks the capabilities necessary to address the most complex forms of financial crime.
With all due regard for the RCMP, they are stretched thin. I think that shortage of officers is more on the contract policing side than it is on the federal policing side, to be clear, but federal policing is short resources. They're stretched thin. They have to cover a lot of ground, such as national security issues and all those things, and personal protection for people.
