I would now like to discuss a completely different topic.
I have already spoken to the former Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. In fact, our committee did a study on harassment within the RCMP.
During your last appearance before the committee you stated that the 2013-2014 budget contained a net increase of $4.7 million for the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP, and that a part of that amount will go to funding new components of the civil commission which examines and deals with complaints about the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
We all feel that a change of culture is necessary within the RCMP. I think we have all examined the issue well in the framework of our study of Bill C-42 and we are all aware of the problems, in particular the harassment cases within the RCMP.
I wonder if you could give us a status report on your policy regarding harassment in the RCMP. Are all of the elements you mentioned when you last appeared before the committee in place? In addition, is the RCMP making progress in its processing of sexual harassment cases, among others?
