Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you very much for being here this afternoon. We appreciate it very much. I know that it's getting late and that you have been here for much of the afternoon.
Sergeant Hulan, I would like to know something. In the document you presented to us, you talk about a project that began in the fall of 2005. You document 18 cases still under investigation. I assume that the perpetrators remain at large, since you do not mention it in your report. I assume that you have not found those responsible for the murders of 17 people and that you have not found the seven missing persons either.
During the same period of time, from 2005 to 2010, the Sisters in Spirit initiative conducted substantive research of exceptional worth with very few resources. Its representatives presented to us a report at the end of last year on all those who disappeared or were murdered.
How do you explain that you do not have more results to show for your investigation, considering all the resources available to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police? Why have you not made more progress? In your organization, 75 people have been working on this case since 2005. How do you explain that? Please, give me an answer. I'm confused, I don't understand.
