Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have one point of clarification. We were aware of the results of the CBC study before the broadcast, because the CBC contacted us with respect to that study. And as I indicated, we immediately undertook our own testing, not testing conducted by the RCMP but testing of RCMP weapons. As I indicated, we've tested 60 to date.
We'll proceed to test our devices, beginning with the oldest devices. It was the pre-2006 devices the CBC report raised particular concerns about. We are working to establish a protocol with respect to testing, both with respect to the conduct of the tests themselves and with respect to what an appropriate strategy would be for testing. We have about 2,600 CEWs in our inventory.
I think we will continue with our testing. Then we will make more informed choices with respect to whether it's necessary to test all our devices or whether it's necessary to test only a representative sample on a recurring, ongoing basis.
