Thank you, Chair.

I will start over again.

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association submitted a brief where they noted that currently, most “complaints are investigated by the RCMP. Although the CRCC currently has the power to investigate a complaint...this rarely happens. In 2020, the head of Nunavut’s legal aid service called the existing CRCC ‘fundamentally flawed as a model for civilian oversight’ because all it provided...was ‘some sort of oversight over internal discipline.’”

Do you share the same concern that this new PCRC will continue to consist of police investigating police? If so, would you like to see a truly independent complaints process?
