Sure.

There was a workplace assessment done by former CSIS director Reid Morden, and he found, among other things, that the slow pace of reforms frustrated some Mounties. I think you both already touched on that.

We know that the labour relations reform that was necessitated by the Ontario Supreme Court decision in MacDonnell--no relation, I take it--in June 2010.... It was introduced by this government in June 2010. The civilian oversight of complaints against the police, Bill C-38, was introduced in June 2010, and there's been no movement by this government since then as those two bills languish on the order paper.

I wonder if you could comment on how important you think it is to start uplifting the morale of the force that those two pieces of legislation be brought forward and passed?
