There is definitely a disconnect, and I acknowledge the work of the Auditor General in recognizing the disconnect.
There have been 18,000 applicants since April 1, 2025, who have applied to the RCMP to join the list. There are a number of very important hurdles that individuals need to go through. One of the things we will do is streamline that process and ensure that we have a six-month window in recruitment, from the time they apply to the time they enter training, and we will continue to work with the RCMP on those changes.
