Mr. Chairperson, committee members, I'm a retired sergeant with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, having served in the force for 35 years and five months.
For my last twelve years, I was posted to the RCMP's access to information and privacy—ATIP—branch, located at headquarters in Ottawa. For my first six years in ATIP, I was an analyst and reviewer; for the last six years, I was a senior NCO in charge of disclosures unit.
ATIP branch received several requests for specific portions of the RCMP pension fund documents. First was a request for the audit portion. Superintendent Christian Picard was the OIC, and the reviewer was my colleague, public servant Normand Sirois.
My involvement with the RCMP pension fund files was a little later and concerned a request for the Ottawa Police summary report document. This document was approximately 50 pages long and written by OPS Inspector Roy. The OIC at that time was Superintendent Pierre Lavoie.
I'm currently employed by the RCMP on a casual, short-term contract in ATIP branch, because of my expertise in the access and privacy field. Six senior people have left the branch recently, so there has been an extensive loss of corporate knowledge.
I look forward to answering your questions, based on my knowledge of the ATIP work done on the RCMP pension files I worked on.
