Thanks, this will be interesting to follow.

I remain most interested in, and concerned with, the difficulty in taking solid intelligence information and turning it into viable criminal prosecutions- the 'ISIS returnee' conundrum that was discussed in depth here a few months back. I hope they're looking very hard at ways to strengthen this...

So long - head of the RCMP's Management Advisory Board quit. His resignation letter (partially redacted) was released to the CBC through an ATIP request.

Based on the resignation letter, he seems more angry at the GoC as opposed to the RCMP.
