Thank you, Mr. Payne. I'd be very pleased just to advise the committee that the terms of reference the commission established were to review the policing of public intoxication. The areas of interest involved the RCMP members' entry into buildings and residences, the search of those buildings and residences, the seizure of items, as well as the communications surrounding the incidents.
What we found was that we have reviewed some 15,000 documents relating to this matter. It's turned out to be a major undertaking. The documentation is found with detachments all over western Canada, because there were large numbers of RCMP members who did attend to assist with this emergency.
We've conducted numerous interviews in High River with people directly affected. We've conducted interviews with members of the RCMP. We've retained outside experts to review the issue of the legality of police entry into people's homes. We've retained a communications expert to help us with the review of the RCMP communications strategy.
I'm optimistic that our final report will be released to the public this summer.
