I believe it's very important. Certainly we collaborate more and more with other forces, both with respect to standing capacity, such as IBETs, our border enforcement teams, and also in joint operations across the country. We have in the Lower Mainland in British Columbia, for example, in cooperation with other police forces, established an integrated homicide investigation team. I'm sure members of the committee will be aware of the alarming incidence of violence, including murders, in the Lower Mainland.
I think it's very important that we have common understandings. I'm not suggesting that the IMIM that we have adopted has been adopted universally across the country. We continue to work with the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and others with that objective in mind—that is, that we will have more standardization. That helps also with respect to training, and we also want to cooperate with respect to the gathering and analysis of data.
