Just to add to what Ms. Daviau has said, I think some of the commissioner's authority or discretion would need to be removed, because there have been a number of testimonies in which you've heard people talk about how the commissioner is serving as a gatekeeper and cases aren't getting in the door. If there were more direct access and the commissioner had less discretion and had to refer certain matters to tribunal should there be a finding of reprisal through an investigation, that would certainly be advantageous, so removing some of the broad discretionary powers that the commissioner has would be of benefit.
