In fact, the audit was carried out in a response to a request from the Justice Committee which had received contradictory testimony from managers and previous employees of the Forensic Laboratory Services. This is what I was referring to. Why were those statements made? This is partly due to the confusion that exists with the definition of certain words. Of course, I cannot explain why some statements were made.
What is important to us is that the RCMP has accepted our recommendations and put in place a plan of action to correct any failings or concerns that appeared during our audit. Now, as we do for all our updates, we will wait to see the results and may carry out another audit to see if the plan of action has being effective.
