We observe in the report that the amount of additional funding for the laboratory was disproportionate to the increase in the number of cases. Before jumping to the conclusion that it is simply a question of money, we believe that the RCMP needs to carry out an analysis of its processes, more or less along the lines of an engineering report, to determine where the delays are, what causes these problems, and if there's a way of carrying out the analyses more quickly. We also encourage the RCMP to compare itself to other laboratories which have a faster turnaround than the RCMP.
