This was an issue that I raised directly with Justice Bastarache because of those very serious allegations, which he did not particularize in his report by naming individuals, out of respect for the victims. As you can imagine, those criminal investigations require that we respect the wishes of the victims in those cases.
Let me also acknowledge to you that I've had a number of discussions with Justice Bastarache as well about the inadequate response in the disciplinary processes to deal with what are clearly egregious behaviours unacceptable within the RCMP. I think it does highlight the need for a more effective and responsive disciplinary process, up to and including criminal investigations and charges where appropriate.
It's also critically important in these matters to respect the wishes of the victims as these matters are resolved, but certainly those behaviours are totally unacceptable and require a very strong response, up to and including dismissal and criminal prosecution.
