I thank you for that, and I accept your expression of concern for the appearance of political interference.
Perhaps I could ask this. If the Department of Justice Act was amended—and I understand it can't be in this proceeding, Mr. Chair—to provide for the same protection of an Attorney General, as was suggested in amendment L-14, for the same provisions as for the director of prosecutions, if the Attorney General intervened in or indeed took over an individual prosecution or a general matter of prosecution policy, would that not provide the same protection against a misapprehension or a doubt in the public about the impartiality and professionalism of the process? It would provide exactly the same mechanism of giving notice in writing and gazetting that these provisions provided, but without the need for a separate Director of Public Prosecutions office.
