I'm not sure we can call it even a federal one. One of the issues is it seems to fall in between every level of government and the whole notion of appeal, transparency, accountability, and where the buck stops. I wouldn't quite call it a federal level; actually it's a creation of the FPT process. One of the concerns we've heard is that in fact it isn't accountable to any level.
