I do not involve myself in the day-to-day operations of the RCMP. However, we introduced the enhancing RCMP accountability act to ensure that the Commissioner has the tools to modernize the RCMP. Shockingly, the NDP, and that member specifically, voted against that act.</p>",

Je ne me m\u00eale pas des activit\u00e9s courantes de l'organisation. Toutefois, nous avons d\u00e9pos\u00e9 la Loi visant \u00e0 accro\u00eetre la responsabilit\u00e9 de la GRC afin de veiller \u00e0 ce que le commissaire ait les outils qu'il lui faut pour moderniser l'organisation. Or, aussi incroyable que cela puisse para\u00eetre, le NPD et ce d\u00e9put\u00e9 en particulier ont vot\u00e9 contre ce projet de loi.</p>"
