I think the reason this was in there was to ensure there would be some sort of consistency in the route that people would take to resolve their issue, rather than having everything inundate the Canadian Human Rights Commission, for instance. I believe that's why it was there. In the new legislation, as I understand it, we're looking at something that's going to create a single route to deal with violence and harassment, so it again will provide a common route for everyone to use.
