Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
The Reform Implementation Council reported in each of their five reports that significant progress has in fact been made in addressing the recommendations of the task force and other issues as well. In fact, there were 49 recommendations, and we have actioned 46 of those. One recommendation we did not accept and the other two were the governance recommendations we've been talking about this afternoon.
As I said, there's a wide variety of progress. The best sort of picture of that progress is the transformation report that I referred to in my opening remarks and that has been made available to the committee. We're a much stronger organization than we were, but we have lots and lots of things still on our to-do list.
I think the proposals that are already before the House with respect to strengthening oversight and review are very important. I would like to see action on the governance proposals. That will require us to develop a whole suite of new policies that can be tailor-made to the realities of policing and the realities of the RCMP, as opposed to the RCMP being bound by policies written for the whole federal public sector.
