Public Accounts committee  That's correct. In fact that is our role, to uncover problems in the RCMP and to bring them forward. That's the normal process.

Public Accounts committee  I'm not really sure I understand or can give an opinion on that, if you want to base it more on facts. I know the commissioner responded to a question after I briefed caucus in September of last year concerning Mr. Gauvin and his behaviour, and instead of answering about his beh

Public Accounts committee  I, Ron Lewis, do swear that the evidence I shall give on this examination shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God.

Public Accounts committee  That's correct.

Public Accounts committee  I shared caucus with Mr. Girard for ten years. I was also elected in four terms. It was quite well known that Mr. Girard and others were trying to force unionization, against the members' will. Being a member of the staff relations program means you have obligations to the progra

Public Accounts committee  There is a policy in the administration--I think it's 37(d)--that says you can't be in conflict of interest and be a staff relations representative. That would be part of being a staff relations representative.

Public Accounts committee  There is an office known as the staff relations program office. They are the go-between for the management and the staff relations representative. They would have made that decision. It was not management; it was the program itself.

Public Accounts committee  That's correct.

Public Accounts committee  To frame what the situation is, you have to realize that I'd gone to him twice before. He failed to take action on complaints I made against Mr. Ewanovich. There was another investigation, which is sometimes referred to here as the OPP investigation, that happened the same month

Public Accounts committee  Then I followed it up on June 25, because he said he was going to do another investigation internally within a week. He didn't. It was 25 days, 30 days later--

Public Accounts committee  The words in the office were “Go see Gessie. Get a criminal investigation going.” “Gessie” means Gessie Clément, the CO of A Division, the only person I'm allowed to go to under the act. Then he said on the other matters, “I will get back to you within one week.” That's why I c

Public Accounts committee  All my documents were tabled initially.

Public Accounts committee  No, I haven't.

Public Accounts committee  This document was presented to me—I'll give you the exact time and date—by Chief Superintendent Macaulay in Greely, Ontario, at 10.30 a.m. on April 14, 2007, which was Saturday, I believe. It was passed on to him from the RCMP to give to me to come here today. These were the docu

Public Accounts committee  I'm going to table it, yes. It covers other issues as well, but it says here: “November 23, 2003, Dominic Crupi, former Director of National Compensation Policy Centre, was sent home on management leave.” Now, there's no such thing in the public service. He was home for 16 mont
