Yes. That would be part of it. For example, if you apply to the RCMP, we will do early checks to make sure that you're a viable candidate. We would invite you in. We can also do it remotely. For example, because we're doing the pilot in British Columbia and the Yukon, you don't have to come down to a main centre in the metro Vancouver area. You could be up in the north. You could be on Vancouver Island. You could be in the southeast portion of the province.
We can now run physical tests and give our police fitness assessment to make sure you meet the physical requirements. We will check your documents. We will do an attribute evaluation in which we check to make sure you can speak one of the two official languages. We will make sure you have good communication skills and good interpersonal skills. We'll get a sense of you. Throughout that process, the applicant now knows which Mountie will be their recruiting officer. They can have direct contact. It was more of an administrative process before. It didn't have the same ownership and accountability. We've brought this into the process and reduced the processing times.
