Mr. Speaker, as a mother and a member of the public, I believe we have a right to transparent police investigations. That is fundamental.
Could my colleague explain the points raised by the NDP about this bill, in particular the idea that investigations should be carried out independently so that the public can be sure that those at fault will receive due punishment and so that the atmosphere of trust and the atmosphere within the RCMP are tolerable for whistleblowers?
Could my colleague expand on that idea?
