Public Safety committee Right now we are working on a plan to educate them. That is part of our intention, to educate them as well as the Canadian public on the process.

Public Safety committee The approach will include several components. We'll undoubtedly receive complaints regarding American officials. At this time, we sometimes receive complaints regarding officers other than Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers. With respect to the RCMP, we have a no wrong door

Public Safety committee I don't think so, but this issue should be addressed.

Michelaine Lahaie
Public Safety committee Yes, we're currently using the same mechanism.

Michelaine Lahaie
Public Safety committee I'll address the second part of your question first. Any information provided to us under oath by an individual we've compelled to come to speak to us cannot be used against them. Anything they're admitting personally cannot be used in any of our reports, so that information cann

Public Safety committee Yes, Mr. Dubé, that's correct. We're certainly limited by our budgetary and human resources. I should also point out that this part concerns what we call reviews, but reviews of specific activities. We're talking about cases involving a systemic issue that we decide to investiga

Public Safety committee I think that it may sometimes be difficult to make the distinction. However, I can tell you that we currently have a very good relationship with the Security Intelligence Review Committee and with what will become the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency.

Public Safety committee Indeed.

Michelaine Lahaie
Public Safety committee The legislation as you have it before you is very similar to what we see in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act right now. There are probably a few minor housekeeping issues, but as we read it right now, as the commission, there are no showstoppers.

Michelaine Lahaie
Public Safety committee One of the things this bill is going to help with is the fact that there will now be service standards. There will be service standards for the RCMP as well as service standards for CBSA in terms of their responding, which will assist the commission greatly, whereas right now, th
June 17th, 2019Committee meeting
Michelaine Lahaie
Public Safety committee I can't speak to what CBSA is doing right now, because we're looking at what we're doing in the future. In terms of the RCMP, they do have a policy document that's in place, but there's no requirement for them to articulate that service standard externally. Right now, there reall

Michelaine Lahaie
Public Safety committee The answer to your question is yes. We do have the ability to investigate. I have a team of seven investigators who currently work for me right now. I suspect that with the increase in funding, as well as the new mandate, we will be increasing the number of investigators we have.
