I've travelled a little bit in my role as a parliamentarian, and virtually every embassy or high commission I've been to has an RCMP officer present who is responsible for security of the embassy and so on. That RCMP officer would be involved in the chain of command of the RCMP and not in the chain of command at the high commission or the embassy. Is that correct? However, they would have a working relationship in concert with the staff of Global Affairs. Is that correct? How would official communications happen between the RCMP officer at an embassy or high commission and the staff at Global Affairs? Would that all be well-documented?
