Thanks.
That's why I wanted the clarification, because I was having some trouble understanding it. Unless the law clerk or you, Chair, want to correct my direction here, it seems to me that we can't have it both ways. We can't tell them, on the one hand, that you can't use anything that comes up here, and yet at the same time try to take what we're doing here and cross the line into personnel matters within the RCMP. I just heard from the law clerk that they were able, notwithstanding the Supreme Court ruling, to go ahead and have independent investigations.
What makes those independent investigations of an internal matter any different from any other that is going on at this time? Given the number of officers there are, there are likely one or two rattling around out there, so I'm having some trouble understanding where we would hold the commissioner to account on this reassignment, given that the part of it that is our responsibility has been supported by the courts as being within the parliamentary domain and nowhere else, and the separation is clear. So how can we expect the commissioner to take account of what we're doing at the same time we're saying don't take account of what we're doing?
So I'm having a little trouble understanding where we hold the commissioner to account on this particular order that he has issued.
