Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for his speech.

Given that my colleague once served as public safety minister, I should think he would be better informed than other MPs, myself included.

I wonder if he still believes in what he said on May 13, 2015:

“I have full confidence in the judgment of the RCMP. While respecting the operational independence of the RCMP...”

Does he still believe in those words today, as the current Minister of Public Safety does now?
