The section on the sanctions is really based on our experience with some very specific investigative files. As I'm sure all of you know, anything that bears a criminal conviction means that it's really competing in terms of resources with the RCMP's resources. That is the body those cases would be referred to. In some instances, the level of severity is different. To have a full spectrum of administrative monetary penalties is probably more in line with the severity of some of these offences.
The other thing we're proposing is to have some amendments in terms of these infractions that exist within the act. That's really based on our investigative experience. There were some gaps we felt needed to be addressed.
The other key component is that when we refer a matter to a police body, the act predates some significant case law in that respect, and it puts my office and the people who are the target of these investigations in very difficult circumstances. It should be aligned with the way it's done in the Lobbying Act, which is a more modern piece of legislation.
