Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being here, as well as Commissioner Paulson and Mr. Wex. We appreciate your time.
Mr. Minister, it's unbelievable, actually, that the RCMP have had to operate under such an old piece of legislation that has not been updated, and they have had to function. I think it's a credit to their leadership and to the members that they have been able to operate with such success.
As you mentioned, certainly there have been some challenges over the last little while, things I know members themselves want to see corrected, but I think as we look at what they've had to deal with under the old piece of legislation, it's good to see the new bill come forward and see the changes it will make.
One thing that I didn't hear you address, Minister, and I am wondering if you could talk a bit about are the costs associated with Bill C-42, specifically with the new complaints review commission, as well as modernizing the human resources framework. Do you have any comments you can make on that?
