In fact, yesterday, the commissioner of the RCMP released a statement in which she said, and I quote:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"7263169\" data-originallang=\"en\"> It is important to note that the sharing of information and briefings with the Minister of Public Safety are necessary, particularly during a mass shooting on Canadian soil. This is standard procedure, and does not impact the integrity of ongoing investigations or interfere with the independence of the RCMP. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"7263170\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is important that she concludes:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"7263171\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I take the principle of police independence extremely seriously, and it has been and will continue to be fully respected in all interactions. </p>\n</blockquote>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7263168\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis heureux de dire la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 aux d\u00e9put\u00e9s d'en face. Hier, la commissaire de la GRC a publi\u00e9 une d\u00e9claration. Voici ce qu'on a pu y lire:</p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"7263169\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Il est important de souligner qu'il est n\u00e9cessaire de communiquer l'information au ministre de la S\u00e9curit\u00e9 publique et de l'informer, particuli\u00e8rement dans le cas d'une fusillade de masse en sol canadien. Cela est une proc\u00e9dure standard, et n'a aucune incidence sur l'int\u00e9grit\u00e9 des enqu\u00eates en cours et n'interf\u00e8re pas avec l'ind\u00e9pendance de la GRC. </p>\n</blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"7263170\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je souligne ce passage important de sa d\u00e9claration: </p>\n<blockquote><p data-HoCid=\"7263171\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Je prends le principe de l'ind\u00e9pendance de la police extr\u00eamement au s\u00e9rieux, et il a \u00e9t\u00e9 et continuera d'\u00eatre pleinement respect\u00e9 dans toutes les interactions. </p>\n</blockquote>"
