I hear you on that. What I'll say that, when you give subpoena power and you have the ability to compel evidence, you don't get to say who and what. A commission could subpoena or compel the testimony of a victim: “We're very interested to hear what happened to you; come and talk about it.” Then that victim could be cross-examined. That's why the TRC wasn't a public inquiry. That's why I don't think this needs to be.
