Mr. Speaker, again, I hear a lot of numbers from the NDP, but I do not hear a lot of solutions.

In my 20 years in the RCMP, I knew that 99% of the members were good members, with 1% being the problem.

However, my issue is with the member saying that he is against giving the powers to the commissioner of the RCMP to fire people who should not be in the job. Presently, the commissioner has no authority to fire anyone. Is the member against the commissioner of the RCMP having the authority to fire members who should be fired?
