But I really have to say that in my mind's eye, and long before I came here, I had this little phrase in my head about putting the monkeys in charge of the peanuts.
When the RCMP, or any organization--it has nothing to do with the RCMP per se, but whenever any organization is asked to investigate its own self, and in particular in instances where maybe in the public's mind or in my mind a failure has occurred, I don't put a whole lot of stock in what they say about themselves.
I think it's worth reviewing what those studies turn up, yes, as part of our investigation, but it isn't going to be enough, Mr. Chair, not to get at the truth. As I say, people investigating themselves are inclined, as we all are.... It's human nature to try to put a rosy glow around something that happened, even if it's almost impossible.
