I've met many RCMP officers. In fact, we just had an opening of a new detachment in east Hamilton and I had an opportunity to dialogue with them. What I'm amazed about is their embodiment of the mission vision and values: honesty, integrity, courage.
Are they saying to you, or do you have an indication yourself as the minister, that with this hanging over their heads it's impeding their job? Is it making their job untenable to do ethically and effectively on a day-to-day basis?
