Okay.

I have to get something you mentioned in your opening remarks clarified. It might have been in one of your answers. Ms. Damoff was talking about the reservists. You said that reservists have the same powers of arrest as a regular RCMP. I was a little shocked to hear that. I know that in Ontario, auxiliary don't have peace officer status.

Do RCMP reservists actually have the same powers of arrest, or are they civilian?
