Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the member on her new position.
Like all Canadians, I am extremely troubled by these reports. I indicated this several months ago in the House already. RCMP members must be free to face the daily challenges of protecting our streets and communities without the fear of harassment or intimidation. That is why, in consultation with the commissioner, I have referred this matter to the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP.
As there is pending litigation as well at this time, it would be inappropriate to comment further.
