It's not because they were with the RCMP for two years. When the Lobbying Act came into force, the period of time within which a matter could be investigated and charges could be laid was extended. Previously everything had to be done in two years. So you can imagine my office looking into it, reviewing it, sending it over to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and then they would do their own fact-finding before they would....
So for a couple of the cases we had on file, because when they occurred there was, I guess, a question in terms of a legal point--and I can ask Bruce if he wants to interject--we looked at them and determined that because the act had extended the time limitation to five years, they actually fell within the time limit for prosecution.
But in discussions between the RCMP and the prosecutor's office, there was some concern, as I understand it, that they might lose on that technicality.
