Maria Mourani at the Public Safety and National Security Committee

I'd like to understand how the program works. How do you go about determining that a witness is under RCMP jurisdiction and not under the jurisdiction of another police force? I'm not sure what happens in the case of the Service de police de la ville de Montréal or with the SQ.

In Quebec, for instance, do witnesses tend to come more often under the jurisdiction of the SQ, the Montreal police or other police forces in addition to the RCMP? How do you decide whether or not the witness is under the RCMP's jurisdiction?
