We have the option of both. We do most of our investigations internally, but we have an avenue whereby we can go outside and hire independent investigators.
I think the accountability to provide a workplace free of harassment rests with the deputy head, and I join that with the fact that the best resolution of any conflict in the workplace is the one reached closest to the workplace.
I welcome the opportunity to go to a third party when the internal mechanism is not working, but I think that having the possibility of going internally to your supervisors, generally speaking, is definitely a good thing. I can see some situations where that could be problematic or bring the impression that it will not be fairly addressed, so I think going outside is also desirable. Given that we're enshrining this into the code will Bill C-65 and that the ministry is the place that administers the code, it would make sense that it go there.
