I'd like to ask the officials—either the RCMP or Ms. Gibb from the commission—a question.
While I agree with Mr. Julian on the need for service standards to get investigations looked after appropriately and in a timely way as much as possible, we heard during the study that some of these investigations have taken a considerable period of time. My office has received complaints over the years, from members of my constituency who have complaints before the commission, about the length of time it took to hear anything back, so I support that.
We heard evidence at committee about how a lack of resources is going to make this problematic. We know the financing that's been allotted to this new improved commission, including the CBSA and the RCMP, is woefully inadequate in the opinion of the commission, and I would tend to agree.
However, with this particular subamendment that was moved, I'd like to get a perspective from you, Ms. Gibb, on the subamendment and whether it fits. We're looking at CPC-5 and CPC-6, which follow this—also talking about service standards—and whether we are in line with the realities of this.
If we put a timeline in here that's six months or a year from.... I know you can go and ask for an extension—I get that—but what's the reality that we should be looking at as a committee, so that there's a proper guideline for you to follow in the act to do your work?
