When I talked to some in the rank and file, the members and member reps complained, at least to me, about salary levels. They said that salary levels within the RCMP are not keeping up with the salary levels of some of the other police forces, whether it's Calgary, Vancouver, or whatever.
As a result, I'm told the RCMP is losing fully trained officers that have come through the training depot and they're going to other jurisdictions with other police forces where they don't run the risk of getting sent to an isolated location.
Can you give us any numbers in terms of either direct numbers or percentage of your members that you may be losing on an annual basis to police forces of other jurisdictions? Given these indications, I think there is a problem in terms of either working conditions or salary levels.
