Hon. Marco E. L. Mendicino, P.C., M.P., Minister of Public Safety: Let me first say that my thoughts are with the Savoie family. Any time a family loses a loved one, it’s an unspeakable and unjust pain, even if there is a process in place based on good faith and on the values of the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights.

I agree with you, Senator Boisvenu, and I will continue to believe that the RCMP is not above the principles of the Canadian Victims Bill of Rights. I am always willing to work with all Canadians, including the families of victims and the Savoie family, and to offer them my support during these painful times.
