** CBC News asked the RCMP for all correspondence or other documentation related to such a proposal in an access to information request. The police force responded Wednesday.
The Mounties say they searched records in federal policing, specialized policing services, contract and aboriginal policing and the strategic policy and planning directory.
"Unfortunately, we were unable to locate records which respond to your request," Supt. David Vautour, an officer with the access to information and privacy branch of the RCMP, wrote in a letter to CBC News.
This backs up what sources have recently told CBC News — that the idea for such a tip line was cooked up at the last minute by a small circle of people close to former prime minister and Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper with no consultation with anyone else. **
