Right now, when I'm looking at the act, and due process is part of my concern as well in terms of putting a mechanism in place, I do feel that, as you said, the expertise or the professional...the best one to understand what's going on in terms of the act and whether a breach has occurred. I would not see anything changing from what happens in my office now, where a thorough process would be fulfilled. There would be sufficient information to look at, to see whether all of the facts are there in order to determine whether there was a breach of the act or perhaps the code, depending on whether the penalties were given.
So that concern for me would be taken care of in that way. As with the reports to Parliament, the act requires that I give them reasonable opportunity to present their views. What I have done in that process, which I think is the best method, is to actually give them the investigation directorate's report that I received. So they have full information and they have 30 days to respond. Those who have asked for it have been granted exceptions. So they would see where I'm going and have the ability to comment on...maybe it's a first-time offence and the fine should be lower. I could see that working that way.
All of my decisions are judicially reviewable. So there is a body, without creating more bureaucracy, in terms of where this would go.
