Mr. Speaker, it is true that the grievance settlement process is one of Mrs. Lynch's initiatives. It is part of the consultations between senior management and employees of the RCMP.
I can tell the House that the RCMP agrees that these consultations and this new approach are better suited to the needs of the RCMP.
On the conflict of interest issue, I am also told that the ethics counsellor was consulted and stated that there was no conflict of interest.
