Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I think I'll turn my questions to the RCMP. Because I have only two and a half minutes, maybe I'll load up two questions for you.
I met with the NPF, the National Police Federation, in October, I think, and one item that they identified with me was that they would like to see federal policing program services bolstered. That's a fair ask, because we are very aware in this committee of the dangers that are being posed by organized crime, whether with car thefts, drug trafficking, human trafficking—you name it. That's a very real threat.
Commissioner, my first question is on how you are working with the union to address that particular ask.
The other question is regarding the superlab bust in Falkland, B.C. In a previous life, I used to be a tree planter, and I know Falkland, B.C., really well. To have a laboratory of that magnitude in that small rural community is quite a shock. From my own research, I know now that organized crime is really looking into the precursors to the precursors. Soon you're going to have a chemist who is skilled enough to go to everyday items.
Can you talk a little bit about the challenge the RCMP is facing? I know you're continually adding a list of precursors that are used to manufacture drugs like methamphetamine and fentanyl. How are you addressing the challenge when you get skilled chemists who are going to go back far enough along the chain to get items that are available to everyday people?
