Mr. Chair, I will answer if I may. I can't get into specifics regarding pay. I do know that the RCMP, since we've been unionized, is now more comparable to other police forces of similar type and size across Canada. Other police of jurisdictions and provincial areas have pay and benefits that I won't speak to.
I believe that our pay is now more in line with that of other police departments in Canada, and that has provided more opportunity for experienced police officers to join the RCMP. As well, with our robust and aggressive hiring practices, we've seen an increase in the number of people we have at depot, so I anticipate that we're on a positive path forward to addressing some of our vacancies.
