Mr. Au, thank you for the question. This allows me to address the issues around the Auditor General's report.
Regarding the recommendations made by the Auditor General, I had a chance to meet with her on Friday. The commissioner has been working with her. The RCMP has accepted those recommendations. In fact, much of the work has already begun. Some of the lags occurred because of COVID. If you look at the time period of 2023-25, it was just post-COVID, and there were also some issues around policing around the world.
We are absolutely committed to implementing the contents of her recommendations. If you wish, I can ask the commissioner to elaborate, but what I can also say is that we can do both. We can recruit more individuals to serve in the regular service, including in contract and indigenous policing, and we can recruit directly for federal policing.
