Thank you, Chair.

Thank you to the witnesses for appearing before the committee.

Professor Wark, my questions are for you.

You've mentioned to me in the past that we don't have an FBI in Canada. We have the RCMP and up to 80% of the work they do is contract policing.

You've obviously thought about this at length. Can you talk a little bit about what it would look like if the RCMP looked a little bit more like the FBI? What would happen to contract policing?

In your opinion, what could the RCMP then focus on that they don't quite have the resources for now?
