Public Safety committee  Absolutely. I'm open to anything. I have a plan. I want to implement it. We have already reached out. The Canadian Forces is a great partner to the RCMP and we work together frequently and successfully. Both the previous Chief of the Defence Staff and this Chief of the Defence S

Public Safety committee  There are some very interesting data in the action plan tracking the demographic challenges that we face. We have just increased our intake for this year at Depot. The 50% intake was based on a certain level of troops, year in, year in, to get us to 30% by 2025. Obviously the mor

Public Safety committee  Yes.

Public Safety committee  I want to say 13%, but I could be corrected on that, so I'd say it's 13% to 20%.

Public Safety committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Let me start right away by separating those two issues that you've linked together there. I see them as completely separate. I can see how you might want to bring them into the same sentence, but women in the organization need to have confidence in a safe w

Public Safety committee  Okay. It's a fair question, Mr. Chair, but we are reaching out to aboriginal women. Aboriginal women are coming into the force. Let me point to the four major investigative campaigns that are going on in western Canada right now to investigate violence and missing and murdered

Public Safety committee  Sure. Thank you for that question. Our action plan addresses many of the issues identified in the CPC's report. We plan to report frequently on our progress. That's an ingredient toward re-establishing and reacquiring the public trust that, as you've described, has been impacted

Public Safety committee  I thought it was getting better recently, but I can tell you, frankly, that I was just in Grande Prairie, where I had a town hall meeting with the folks there, and it's a very busy policing environment in Grande Prairie.

Public Safety committee  It was smart of me to choose it, then.

Public Safety committee  But to the point of your question, the members were looking at me and wondering, when is this over, when are we out? My response is that it will be as soon as everybody is engaged and holding up their end of this thing. I think the men and women of this force, the employees of th

Public Safety committee  Thank you. When they take the online training, they must read something and then answer questions. If they don't answer certain questions, they have to re-read the material.

Public Safety committee  Ah, I see. They have a password that allows them to access the system. I imagine that a person could work hard at it and arrange to have someone else take the training in their place, but that hasn't happened yet.

Public Safety committee  Yes.

Public Safety committee  Thank you for the question. Yes, it's possible, but it's important to try to conduct the investigation as quickly as possible. Most of the investigators, once we're in the investigative stage of an harassment case, are external to the unit that they're in. Occasionally they're

Public Safety committee  Once again, thank you for the question. I don't have the figures on the number of women. I don't have the numbers on the success of those outreach initiatives with me, so I can't really speak to that. We do have the numbers, and I'm not in a position—
