Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I would like to direct my questions to Ms. Scanlan. In reference to the last line of questions I had to Chief Superintendent Campbell, you went into some great detail in your letter and he did reference that it might be more appropriate for you to answer for yourself, and I agree with him.
When Commissioner Lucki made reference to this being linked or tied to pending gun control legislation, first of all, could you just reiterate your reaction to that? Second of all, given all of your experience in the RCMP, I would also like to get some of your comments on the actions you think legislators need to take, specifically with the RCMP Act, subsection 5(1), which lays out what the commissioner's powers are, because we have seen instances in previous decades where there has been political interference and direction of the RCMP. It happened under the Chrétien government. It happened under the Diefenbaker government. Do we as legislators need to make an effort to reform a section of the RCMP Act so that those legislative guardrails are firmly in place?
Thank you.
