Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Commissioner, I'd like to talk more about the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. You talked about the organization's culture. When Commissioner Duheme appeared before our committee, he said, “we have struggled at times in ensuring our full compliance with the act”.
We're concerned about that culture and the organization's capacity. We all remember the extreme weather events in the Atlantic region. Alerts did not go out on time in both official languages. As the minister acknowledged, there may be a lot of forest fires again this year.
The RCMP is not currently prepared to meet all of its obligations under the act. Sometimes it's a matter of life and death. Why do you think this cultural problem persists? What should the RCMP do to fix it?
