Thank you very much, Mr. Kennedy.
Our time in this first hour has come to a close.
We want to thank both of you, Mr. Plecas and Mr. Kennedy, for your submissions today, and for your attendance via video conference and your presence.
We're going to suspend for about one minute to allow Mr. Kennedy to make his exit and to invite our other guests to take their place.
In our second hour, we're going to continue our consideration of Bill C-42, An Act to amend the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other Acts. We're hearing from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police today.
We have Chief Superintendent Craig MacMillan, who returns with a little different hat today as the director general of adjudicative services. We also have Alain Jolicoeur, chair of the audit committee.
I would invite each of you to make a brief opening statement, and then we'll proceed with a round of questioning by members of the committee.
Mr. Jolicoeur.
