Thank you, Chair.
Commissioner Lucki, my next question is for you. My question is the same question I asked you the last time you were here, but we ran out of time to get an answer, so I'll try today.
There have been many calls for a reconstruction of the RCMP to remove contract policing. We have heard this from numerous witnesses, who said that the RCMP is too big and has too many roles, which makes it difficult, if not impossible, to govern, and that the RCMP needs to get out of contract policing.
We certainly saw the shortcomings of contract policing just recently in the RCMP's failed approach to advancing indigenous reconciliation. In fact, we've seen quite the opposite.
Can you comment on whether you think the current RCMP contracting model is a good idea, considering your mandate to advance indigenous reconciliation, or should it be removed?
