No. The big call in those days, when I was Solicitor General, was for the potential unionization of the RCMP. We spent several years on it. There was a strong push, especially by the RCMP in Ontario. The big issues in the RCMP were for unionization. We finally set up, when I was Solicitor General, the “div rep” system. It wasn't quite a union, but it provided representation to the rank and file in the RCMP.
As well, there were a lot of problems in the rank and file on the disciplining of men by sending them to the Northwest Territories or some base when they didn't do exactly what.... So we set up a new system, which is still in place, to review the discipline decisions against the men in the RCMP. But there was no major problem at the time that called for that kind of oversight.
By the way, the parliamentary committee--I was a member of the committee--was much more involved in checking up on the RCMP through the estimates. And I as Solicitor General was often called to the committee. At that time, I think it was the justice committee. There wasn't a public safety committee. But we were called quite often on various problems.
