I mention it only because it's important for context that this information was coming out around the same time.
Auditor General, paragraph 28 of your report notes that you “found that the RCMP did not use the human resources data it had to set [the] targets” for new recruitment and that human resources instead based recruitment targets on the amount of funding it had.
I'd like you to expand on this. To me, it doesn't seem as though aligning capacity of the task to match cost and funding is a terrible business decision, but because this is a matter of public safety, it's a bit of a different discussion.
Can you talk to me about that misalignment of targets and recruits as a problem of funding?
