Absolutely. I say inadvertent, and I also believe there were some mistakes in judgment and some mistakes in management.
These issues were well known throughout the RCMP. One of the big problems from the inaction by the commissioner and senior management was that people in the RCMP knew about some of these goings-on, and they knew that things weren't being done about it. This was not a secret.
What we found was that management, including the commissioner, failed to understand the seriousness of it and failed to understand the messages that were being sent to those who were aware of what was going on by their inaction. They failed to really grasp this and to do something with it.
The commissioner thought he had dealt with the issue. He removed two people from their jobs and thought that was all he had to do.
