Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to both gentlemen for appearing today.
In previous committees I had the opportunity to ask the commissioner specifically about training. We talked about the RCMP being such a big organization, with diverse postings. Their promotional boards and the way in which people are promoted.... They don't always come through a necessary stream of supervision or leadership. There are a number of ways you could be promoted, and a number of postings and positions in which you never had to actually supervise anybody.
I personally was encouraged by the commissioner's remarks that they see building in, and I think you mentioned it, as part of promotion, as part of recruitment for selection for supervision, that necessary training for detachment commanders in small rural detachments, right up to supervisors who are promoted in large municipal policing settings, to undertake the kind of training that might lead to some of the concern you're highlighting.
Can you just build a little bit on your input there? You talked about concern around that, and we'd like to hear about those challenges.
