Chairperson, Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police

I would say it was something we came to jointly. Both organizations realized there would be value in our having an MOU.

The commission has existed for almost 35 years. We've never had an MOU with the RCMP, although it has been in the legislation. We felt that it was time to move forward with respect to putting an MOU in place. It was the first step in starting to impose timelines so that we could get more timely responses to Canadians with respect to their complaints.
