Do you think it's important for somebody like the commissioner of the RCMP to be given the ability and authority to exercise leadership in these kinds of circumstances, where he ultimately carries the can for the RCMP...?

From the tone of my question, I'm suggesting that it is appropriate for him to be able to exercise leadership in those cases. Would you agree with that?
