Thank you to our witnesses for being here today.
I want to clarify a couple of things.
You talked about the 20,000 members that the RCMP has, but we all understand that these are not 20,000 operational members. It's obvious that we would never obtain carbines for 20,000 members.
The issue, and I think the Auditor General has made it clear, is that the operational people.... It should be understood, I hope, that every operational member and every operational vehicle in the fleet of the RCMP, no matter where you are in Canada, should have access to a carbine.
Is that your goal?
