Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Through you to the witnesses, thank you for appearing today.
I have two questions. I think what I'll do, in order to afford you the opportunity to take as much time with either one that you wish...I have two basic questions.
The first one is fairly simple and straightforward. Does Bill C-42 ensure the independence of the chair and the commission?
Second, as we know, the provinces that contract RCMP policing services have expressed concerns about the accountability of the RCMP, and they've indicated their interest in having a greater role in a compliant and review regime within their respective jurisdictions.
In your view, does Bill C-42 address their concerns?
