Thank you very much for the question.
Since I took the position, we have, in fact, looked at similar situations. We recruited one of the country's experts, Professor Ken Kernahan, who had already been conducting research internationally, to help us, not only with methods of comparison, but also to find out about case law and procedures elsewhere. There is no point in reinventing the wheel. Following the recommendation of experts in the area, we looked at four countries. The Canadian model is unique. I use that word accepting that some will say that it is not the right one. But I think our model brings together best practices in a number of respects. But it is a very complex act, with a lot of provisions to take into account.
I am going to be meeting my counterparts over the coming months and into next year. We are also going to invite some to Canada and we intend, always with Parliament in mind, to hold a symposium in 2010 to bring experts together. I have already met my Canadian counterparts, from four provinces with a similar program, and we are studying success indicators and implementation. As I indicated previously, our structure is one of the only ones in the world where disclosure, reprisals, powers of investigation, exclusions and inclusions are brought together. That all adds to the complexity. Some areas of security are excluded, and, once again, we will have public interest tests developed as a result of the case law.
