Then let me ask a question.
My question, which arises from all of this, and especially maybe out of our meeting on Tuesday, is about the political risk. I know you aren't here in any capacity as an elected official, but it seems when I read through this—“the Ministers shall receive complaints regarding Canadian companies”—that politically, corporate social responsibility is one of those banner principles that everybody expects.
In some respects, when you ask the average Canadian, the fear is that we can never do enough to guarantee corporate social responsibility. When a complaint is lodged with a minister, whether it's in this government or any other that may come along, the minister has a huge responsibility to show that he has done his due diligence in the matter.
On Tuesday, we heard that questions were asked of police forces in other countries, and they said there was nothing substantiating the charge that was put forward on certain committees. You have a politician, a minister, who recognizes sovereignty of other countries; he questions the government, the police force, and all those involved in that country, and the report comes back that there is nothing to substantiate this. But we still have an individual or an NGO who comes with this complaint, and it's in the media and the news. The minister is always going to be pushed that extra degree.
How big do we have to make a department to do this investigation? How much risk do you feel that this minister would have to undertake to prove that he's taken his share of the responsibility in following up these complaints? To dismiss a charge as being frivolous can have huge political consequences.
