Madam Chair, I'll have the deputy minister talk about some of the aspects of SMRC and Madam Deschamps' report. The work they have been doing with Dr. Preston is significant progress, but we know we have more work to do.
The member talked about a “unicorn”. I'm sorry. When it comes to independence of investigations from politicians, if you think that's a unicorn, that's for you to decide. For me, it is absolutely fundamental to make sure that the politicians are not involved with any type of investigation because it needs to be absolutely independent.
There is a process in place. Having said this, we need to make improvements to it and we will.
Deputy Minister, could you add some thoughts to that, please?
