Thank you, Chair.
Commissioner Lucki, I'm glad to have an opportunity to speak to you.
I have to say, I am a little shocked that you were shocked at Justice Bastarache's report.
I've had a look at your bio and you and I are both graduates of the University of Alberta, which is wonderful. I see you have 35 years of experience in the RCMP. You've been decorated with the Order of Military Merit and various other decorations in a considerably great career in the RCMP.
Janet Merlo's book was written in 2013, and there were other women speaking out at that time about difficulties in the RCMP.
I'm just wondering, when Justice Bastarache says there was a toxic culture of misogyny, homophobia and racism, including sexual violence, and talked about retribution as part of this culture against people coming out with complaints, how could you be shocked? Did you miss that along the way? It's an honest question. I am just curious about that.
