The Commissioner of the RCMP--and many others before the commission and certainly the commissioner himself--talks about the negative consequences of leaks and how they are a breach of our fundamental values. That certainly is a message that has gone out, and I would hope it will influence individuals and organizations with respect to appropriate behaviour.
If I may, Mr. Chairman, I'd like to touch on Mr. Comartin's earlier question. With respect to things being done to enhance accountability and reporting, I'd again refer to all of the ten recommendations addressed to the RCMP by Mr. Justice O'Connor. Those recommendations, as we touched on, are being acted upon. They include the centralization of information holdings, the strengthening of policies and procedures, the enhancement of training, the clearer definitions of rules and responsibilities, and heightened responsibilities with respect to reporting. The last recommendation relates to review, which leads into the part two report.
All 23 recommendations, but the 10 that deal specifically with the RCMP and further enhancements for review, should go a long way to decrease the likelihood of events occurring in the future as happened in the past.
