On the committee I would be open to amendments from private investigators, but I think we ought to distinguish between private investigators and law enforcement agencies like the RCMP. My intent here and my guidance was not to impinge upon the RCMP or other law enforcement agencies in carrying out their functions, but obviously we want to distinguish between private investigators. If they have some legitimate amendments to bring forward, I'd certainly welcome those as well.
