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.

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