Thank you very much.
I want to build on some of the remarks you made regarding the independent model your organization is looking for, to further support—from my interpretation of what you said—RCMP officers.
In discussions that we've had, and certainly upon reviewing the policy paper you put forward on this bill, it would seem that there are provincial models like SiRT in Nova Scotia and ASIRT in Alberta. I believe that every province has a similar independent body, which is triggered when officers use lethal force or in other serious circumstances.
My understanding is that those are completely independent bodies. We don't have officers investigating each other. They're fully independently funded, and independent individuals come in to investigate those serious situations.
Is that a correct assessment of the provincial investigation model?
