When criminality is involved, you refer those cases to the Attorney General. It seems to me that it would be possible, but that's a bit like a black hole. You don't see the result of that, and certainly Canadians don't see the result of that. Does there need to be transparency in that process, so that if you see criminality, if there's a need for that referral, there's a public reporting mechanism?
Certainly, I would like to know, in the six cases that you've referred to, what the deal is with those. Are cabinet ministers implicated? Was there criminality within departments? Those are open questions that I think should be fair ones to ask, yet we have this black hole currently that exists, administratively, such that the good work that your office does comes against the wall of prosecutions. Then, all of a sudden, it is a Liberal-appointed Attorney General who is responsible for the decision-making process in terms of what to do with possible criminality that could have significant political consequences.
Do you see a concern with that process?
