That's a very difficult question. In the ordinary criminal realm, police officers can't command somebody to give them a statement. They either give them a statement willingly or they don't. For a murder investigation, I don't have to give a statement; I'm a witness.
It would be difficult to justify it in this area. It's part of our investigation culture. Most people cooperate. I've had lots of people who don't. I shouldn't say lots, but I've had reports back saying, “This person's not prepared to talk to us.”
In the one in northern Saskatchewan, there were a number of people who weren't prepared to talk to us; some aboriginal people don't want to talk to investigators. But the band office was cooperative.
I'd like to have the authority, mind you, but I don't think you're going to give it to me.
