Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In your opening statement, you spoke of the implementation of new legislative structures and you said that this included five points. My colleague said earlier that Justices O'Connor and Iacobucci had made recommendations that seemed to meet with unanimous consent. Even the minister for public security made similar statements. There was talk of an $8-million budget over two years for this organization.
From 2008 to 2009, the budget amounted to $8.7 million, but it was reduced to $5.2 million. Even Mr. Kennedy said at the time that this will be harmful to the civilian oversight of the activities of the RCMP.
Do you agree with these statements? Supposing that a new organization comprising certain elements—even though I think that there are missing pieces—were to be created, do you believe that the $8 million would be enough?
