Mr. Chair, I'm not familiar with this case in particular, but the fact is that if there were to be a complaint to my office in relation to this matter, it would be confidential. I would not be in a position to comment.
In surmising from the comments of the honourable member, it seems to me that there are ways within institutions to actually disclose wrongdoing. This would seem to me, under the circumstance, to be more appropriate, and it would be to a different commissioner.
If there is a matter of specific complaint in relation to the destruction of records or the concealment of records, or the counselling and concealment or destruction of records under section 67, then we would conduct an investigation. However, I would say to the honourable member that this provision in our legislation probably needs to be amended, following the Federal Accountability Act, because it still makes reference to the Attorney General and should probably make reference to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
There has also never been such an investigation conducted under our legislation. What I can share with members of this committee is that I am actually looking into this specific provision and how we would conduct an investigation in partnership with, perhaps, the Attorney General, as the law currently states, or the Director of Public Prosecutions. I have engaged in these types of discussions this summer because I am concerned about how it would actually be applied in practice, as it has never been done.
