Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank both witnesses for being here today.
My question is also about the RCMP.
A study published in 2010 estimated that it would take nearly 5,000 RCMP officers to meet its needs and enable it to properly carry out its current mandate.
You're not against Bill C‑12. It wouldn't give you more work. In fact, it would allow for better collaboration between the Canada Border Services Agency and the RCMP, which is important.
Many witnesses told us that they couldn't be against virtue, because Bill C‑12 did contain some good measures to provide security for Quebeckers and Canadians. However, they expressed their concerns and a lack of confidence about how it would happen and how quickly the bill would be implemented. Those were the things they were concerned about.
As for you, your concerns are about the slowness of the process for you to be able to make new acquisitions, whether it be equipment or technological tools, for example.
Can you give us a very specific example of a tool you use every day that hasn't yet been replaced? I want you to give me a very concrete example. I think we were talking about guns.
