Thank you, Madam Chair.
I think it's exceedingly clear that there continues to be an evolving story here. Certainly on behalf of the families, which are mostly my constituents, I would suggest that as the story evolves, there are others out there who know the answers to these questions. Even though perhaps at the current time it is becoming about the integrity of the RCMP officers who were on the ground, made notes and provided them very graciously to the public at large, it's very clear that there's more to this story that is not coming forward.
I also believe, to Mr. MacGregor's point, that there are other things that need to be elucidated in terms of the independence of the RCMP. I think Mr. MacGregor tried multiple times to get towards that today. Obviously, we need more information to better understand exactly what happened and, perhaps equally important, how we're going to move forward with respect to ensuring that this type of political interference is not allowed to continue.
I thought Ms. Scanlan made an interesting remark with respect to the choice of the commissioner. How the commissioner is chosen at the current time is of course, as we know, through a political appointment, and they serve at the pleasure of the minister. Obviously, there's more to be understood. There are more stories to be told. I certainly think that continuing on with the appropriate witnesses is absolutely imperative, not just for the families and constituents who are affected in my riding but for all of Canada, so we can continue to understand that we can have faith in the systems of policing that we have.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
