Well, in my opening, I gave you the protections that I think the bill proposes and the other protections that will continue to exist. I mentioned that for the law the bill makes it very clear that the commissioner is to conduct his investigations independently of the DPP. We have our principle of prosecutorial independence that is part of our culture and is reflected in all our policy documents, which, I might add, also indicate that we should respect the independence of investigators.
In my mind, although there is the potential for a perception problem, when you look at the entire package, a well-informed person looking at this realistically and practically and thinking the matter through—which is the test for whether there is a perception problem—would conclude that we will be able to fulfill our prosecutorial function independently of the investigative influence.
