Okay. I'll read from that quote again. It goes on to say:
We have a negotiated agreement with the police forces on how much time they need: when does their case have to go to court? We negotiate to their satisfaction, each one.
20% of clients, according to your findings, however, said the original due date did not meet their needs, so I am baffled as to how these claims can be put in quotation marks, first of all by the Solicitor General and later in your report by the Commissioner of the RCMP, when your factual findings contradict them outright.
This is pretty clear. It says, “We negotiate to their satisfaction, each one.” And you say that 20% of the clients said the original due date did not meet their needs.
You've obviously discovered a problem. We also appear to have discovered some efforts to hide that problem through the pronouncements of past solicitors general and commissioners of the RCMP.
What do you think is the cause of the problem? Why is there a backlog?
