Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. McPhail, thank you for being here.
I would also like to thank Mr. Evans and Ms. Inman for joining us. It is extremely important, especially following the report we received.
Mr. McPhail, your report concluded that there was no concrete evidence of a systemic problem of harassment, but you yourself admit that the investigation was limited by the commission's mandate and powers. Your report depended on existing complaints and public submissions.
We know that sexual harassment often goes unreported and that more than 200 women filed a class action suit against the RCMP.
Do you think that your investigation was limited by your mandate and the powers available to you? Do you think the problem of sexual harassment within the RCMP deserves to be studied further?
