Chief Bevan, thank you very much for being with us today, and thank you for your good work on behalf of the residents of the city of Ottawa.
The Auditor General pointed to the fact that you reported to the Assistant Commissioner of the RCMP. Can you describe that relationship? For example, were you taking orders on how your investigation would be conducted from the assistant commissioner, or were you directing your own affairs independently and then informing the assistant commissioner of your findings?
