Mr. Chairman, with respect to reassuring Canadians, I can state categorically that we have looked at this report and we have accepted without question the recommendations. We in fact, long before the report came out, were dealing with a number of the recommendations because we ourselves saw the need to strengthen and change some of the issues related to centralization and sharing of information.
We've made mistakes in the past, but this is a difficult business that we're in, as I stated in my statement, and we are committed to learning from this. We have learned. We are doing a number of things to improve the quality and the competency of our people. We believe fundamentally in Canadian values and the values of the RCMP, and we hold people to high standards because Canadians expect us to operate at that level. I can assure Canadians that the only thing we are concerned about now is moving ahead, learning from our mistakes, accepting those recommendations, and moving forward.
That's my commitment. I know that is the commitment of every man and woman in the RCMP.
