We had to interrupt some of the commissioner's investigations because it was impossible to obtain the evidence we needed. In the political world, there are often allegiances. People provide mutual support to each other and that is normal. An example comes to mind: it often happens that employers do not give their employees three hours so that they can go and vote, despite the fact that this is a legal requirement. We get the sense that the employer exerts pressure on the employees to get them to withdraw the charges. The employees are very reluctant to take part in our investigation. If we had that power, that could encourage them to be more open. They would then say that they didn't have a choice, and that a court order forced them to testify.
