Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Justice. Last week, the Minister told this House that the RCMP are increasing their training efforts with staff to improve their response to sexual assault complaints. Can the Minister provide more detail on the training offered to the RCMP, including whether the training was provided by in-house instructors, and:
1. Reveal how many police officers have been trained on responses to sexual assault complaints in the last year and how often this training takes place;
2. Provide an overview of the topics covered and guidance given on interviewing victims who say they have been sexually assaulted;
3. Provide analysis of the review of unfounded cases 2010 to 2016 now being undertaken; and
4. Estimate the costs of establishing a sexual assault unit within the RCMP.
Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
