Thank you.
I agree that since four years ago, three years ago, we have come a long way. We have filled our vacancies in contract policing. As you may recall, Mr. Brown reflected that there were significant challenges in resource levels across the country. Last year we trained over 1,700 cadets, which is absolutely an incredible number.
We have increased our investment in training a full continuum of leadership, leadership being an issue Mr. Brown also identified with respect to things that needed reform within the RCMP. He talked about bureaucratic systems. There has been an enormous amount of work on all of those things, which I will be pleased to table.
I am confident that the RCMP has moved light years. I was mentioning to the deputy minister a few minutes ago that it is like your children. Day to day you don't necessarily see a change, but all of a sudden they're in elementary school. All of a sudden they're in high school, and suddenly they're out the door. Then they come back and ask for $30,000 or thereabouts.
Nevertheless, I believe that we are making that type of change.
