Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, Mr. Brown. In your report, you agree that there are significant leadership shortcomings in the RCMP's senior management, and that a kind of culture of secrecy exists. Is it not a little paradoxical, not to say untenable on your part to denounce secrecy on the one hand, and, on the other, to suggest that the solution is the creation of a working group that would operate in camera?
Do you not find it a bit of a contradiction to criticize a practice and then to correct it by operating in exactly the same way?
