One year for ministers. Okay.
I want to come back to this issue of administrative monetary penalties. Currently the federal commissioner has the ability to relay things to the RCMP if she believes there's been an egregious violation of the act or a violation of the act. It's a fairly significant step to refer something like this to the RCMP and to have it investigated by the national police force. While I would not want to take that ability away from the commissioner, if she feels something very egregious has happened I think it's entirely appropriate.
Do you think in some cases it would be inappropriate? It would seem to me that if there was an opportunity to assess an administrative monetary penalty, you might also have better compliance with the act, simply because the only option for the commissioner right now is to refer things to the RCMP. She might not want to do that unless it's very significant. So if you're in the grey area, something that might get you an administrative monetary penalty and bring you back into compliance might not be significant enough for her to refer it to the RCMP. Do you see where I'm going with it?
Do you see instances when referring something to the RCMP might be excessive, whereas an administrative monetary penalty might be more appropriate?
