Thank you.
I want to move to something different. You've talked a lot about the morale of the RCMP. I think the next leader is going to face that challenge to try to determine what the causes of that low morale are, and hopefully take positive steps that will improve it.
In the summer of 2008 the Conservatives promised that they would implement raises—I can't remember the exact number, but in the 4% to 5% range--to address attraction and retention issues in the force. After the election in October 2008 the government reneged on that promise, and since that time the commissioner has either been unwilling or unable to address that successfully.
I'm wondering if you could tell us what effect not honouring that promise to the men and women in the force had on morale.
