Madam Chair, of course we all mourn the loss of four RCMP officers. I went to the memorial service myself, but for the members from Fort McMurray, Athabasca, Yellowhead and Red Deer this has a special meaning. They were and are very close to it.
I think we need to be cautious about trying to represent what occurred in Mayerthorpe as being symbolic or representative of a system gone wrong or bad, because that is simply not the case. Of course, all the facts will come out when the RCMP and others do their review. This chap, Mr. Roszko, seems to me to have been a deranged, delusional individual. We cannot guard against that, no matter what; we can take all the precautions we want. Was there a big public outcry in Mayerthorpe over the years to put that chap away for good?
