The different elements of the militarization of the RCMP I think are hard to define to someone from outside, because you don't know exactly what comes from there or not. What I was told that is meaningful is that they say, “You know, there's the law, there's justice, but then there's the way we see it, the way we do things.” They keep telling people at Depot.... At a certain time—I don't know how long that lasted or how it is now— they told them, “No, no, forget about what you think the law requires; think about what the RCMP requires.”
