The RCMP international police has the mission to prevent and detect crimes committed in Canada and those committed abroad that have an impact on Canada. One of its priorities is to ensure national security.
I noticed that you had a limited number of officers on the ground, roughly about 40. One particularly important question comes up in relation to this. Has all the work of that force reached a limit of effectiveness to the point that it is necessary to engage in clandestine operations?
Your operations are strictly legal and have a certain degree of effectiveness. They follow diplomatic conventions and the laws of the countries where you are a guest. Right now, have your operations reached a peak to the extent that you now need to engage in clandestine operations, such as wiretapping, spying, corruption and surveillance in foreign countries?
