The family of Lynn met with the Commissioner
of Police, as the member would be aware because it was reported widely. The
police commissioner is considering what they spoke about in their advocacy for
some change, and I am sure the police commissioner will respond when he is
ready. If there are any requirements of the government as a consequence of that
response, I will hear about it then.
