A/Commr Sandra Conlin at the Public Accounts Committee

September 6th, 2007 / 9:45 a.m.

Assistant Commissioner, Ethics Advisor, Royal Canadian Mounted Police

I don't believe my role is to protect the RCMP. My role is to bring forth issues and wrongdoings that are brought to my attention. I'm not here for the organization; I'm here to make sure behaviour is ethical and that we do the right thing. That's my role in this job.

Perhaps sometimes the news I bring is not the news that people want to hear, but this is the role that I have to play. I have to bring that, because if I don't, who will?
