As you heard during the testimony of Mr. Kennedy, who is part of the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP, the current mechanism is insufficient and does not allow him to act in a very large number of cases. In other cases, there is very little information on which the investigation can be based. It is therefore necessary to strengthen this mechanism—that was my first opinion—or to create a new one. If we're dealing with a program which no longer comes under the RCMP, then we will need two mechanisms. The first should be able to examine the practices of the RCMP. The RCMP will have to participate in these programs, assess the cases, etc. The second mechanism will have to have oversight over the independent organization.
