Thank you all for appearing and certainly for your service.
The Conservative Party has tried to approach Bill C-7in a way that respects the timelines involved and respects the unique nature of the RCMP, so, unlike Mr. Mendicino, who just talked about harassment, we're focused on clauses 40 and 42. You may have followed our questions on that, and that's where our concern lies.
I was struck though, Mr. Banwarie, that you suggested you are surprised that this is like the PSLRA, but that was what the court case was about. The charter right was that the staff relations program did not provide the charter right, which is kind of why we're here.
A couple of you mentioned that you were part of the staff relations program, the insufficiency of which led to the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada. What specifically with that structure was the inherent weakness, from your point of view, for those who were involved directly in those roles?
