Mrs. DeBellefeuille, I would have been surprised not to have a question from you during this meeting.
I can tell you that the RCMP was spared from the 15% budget cuts that all departments faced. In our case, the cuts represent only 2% of expenses.
We can comfortably say that the $44‑million cut won't have any impact on our operations or our recruitment strategy. In fact, the cuts focus more on structure, at RCMP headquarters, and on travel and overtime expenditures, which we want to reduce.
