Thank you.
So let's talk money.
You state in your report that some $125 million in claims was paid out to compensate women who had suffered injury. I believe there are six categories of compensation ranging from $10,000 to $220,000. The whole system is well thought-out and seems to work better than the complaints system made available to women, according to what you described earlier. It seems completely illogical that the compensation scheme is better structured.
It's entirely normal for victims to be compensated, but my impression is that the government is trying to repair the damage by writing cheques to compensate the women instead of getting to the root of the problem. This money could be used to do that by offering training, or some way could be found to use the money to ensure this doesn't happen in the first place and that people can't abuse their power within the RCMP.
I'd like to hear what you have to say about that. What could be done with the money?
