That's great, thanks. Let's jump into it then.
I'm with the Auditor General here. You did a great thing in announcing it. It's so important to the government for this to work, but it doesn't look as if it was treated that way. That's the problem.
On page nine, paragraph 4.38, the Auditor General says, “We found that the RCMP did not put a business plan in place or allocate resources to support its new Mental Health Strategy”.
Your response, sir, is, “The purpose of the action plan is to identify the components of the strategy that will receive particular attention...to identify the specific...to address.... As the annual action plan does not include resource requirements the RCMP will transform it into a business plan designed specifically to guide implementation efforts for the final two years of the strategy”.
Why wasn't money put up front rather than your coming in here the last couple of years and saying you're doing all of that and you're going to make it all fine? The criticism here is that you didn't do that from the get-go. Why not?
