Thank you very much, Mr. Harris.
First of all, let me be very clear. I did not intend in any way to minimize what I believe to be the egregious and totally unacceptable behaviour that women and LGBTQ members of the RCMP were subjected to, as highlighted in the Bastarache report. Those behaviours are completely unacceptable. If I failed to describe them and denounce them as clearly as they needed to be, let me please correct that now because they are completely unacceptable.
I also discussed with Justice Bastarache the need for external oversight and governance of the RCMP. I think it's a very important element of public trust that there be sound governance. We're certainly working towards that now with the new legislative framework for indigenous policing, which will enable us to address the issues of governance for that aspect of service delivery of the RCMP.
There are a number of other aspects I would highlight for you. For example, we have and are continuing to work with the complaints review commission established by our government with respect to the RCMP. I think significant enhancements need to be done. I will be bringing forward legislation to bring forward those enhancements of the complaints review process.
