Thank you for that. I'm sorry to interrupt, and it's really not meant to be disrespectful, but I'd like an example.
In my case, people in my riding ask me all the time what's going on. There are a lot of theories. You'll see where I'm going with this.
We asked you some questions earlier. I also understand that there are processes that have to be followed. However, we're often told here that it's up to the committee to decide how the RCMP can intervene.
I'll give you an example. The committee has just completed the review of the Conflict of Interest Act. We submitted the report, but the Liberals didn't accept all the recommendations. The Liberals control parliamentary committees. We're in a bit of a loop. We propose things, and they're not accepted. If they are not accepted, the committee doesn't change the act. If the act doesn't change, you can't intervene. So we're going around in circles.
I'm just trying to figure out how we could give you powers.
On your end, could you analyze the situation and, when you think you need to intervene, tell the commissioner that you won't wait for her to call, but that you'll step in right away?
Right now, you're always required to wait for those who are committing wrongdoing to give you permission to investigate them.
