Thank you, Chair.
I would like to thank all the witnesses for being here today. It's good to see you all again.
I want to give a particular welcome to Assistant Commissioner Palmer, who advised me that he hails from Coquitlam. As the member for Coquitlam—Port Coquitlam, I certainly welcome him here.
I want to start by drilling into the 1,000 new personnel accommodated in our last budget.
Commissioner, you mentioned 750 frontline officers and 250 special personnel. Could you please clarify what those 250 people do? Are they a sort of investigator? Are they forensic professionals or whatever?
