Hon Chair, hon member, thank you. Indeed, as I said, this matter has been identified. It is one of the weaknesses in the system. What used to happen is that we used to have a recruitment officer in the province. As a result, this recruitment officer, or these individual officers, were the be all and end all as far as that process was concerned. That opened them up for all sorts of things. Since 2010, we have had the process of a committee in the province, rather than an individual. However, we also linked the process of recruitment to community structures.
We also briefed the committee recently, in January, when we called all the station commanders, the cluster commanders and the provincial commissioners. Another aspect of strengthening this was to publish the names of those people who apply to be police officers even before they go to the police training colleges. Anyone in the community who knows that this particular individual is not fit to be a police officer will then have the opportunity to raise an objection.
