There are problems with that limitation period. I'm sure it's mystifying to Canadians when they see that alleged misconduct took place—let's say on a particular file—and then the one-year limitation that is set out within the act is arrived at and it appears then that no further action takes place and the person, if they were guilty, appears to be off the hook. That's a frustrating thing for people to consider.
I would like to add at this point that even with that limitation period, there is no limitation on criminal charges. No member of the RCMP would be absolved of any criminal activity or charges because of the one-year limitation--
