I've reviewed the new complaints process, and I have heard some of the submissions that you've heard already from important stakeholders who've said they are content with what has been proposed, and they see it as an improvement. I think they've urged this committee to take sort of a wait-and-see approach.
It strikes me as appropriate. I think it is something that has teeth. My view, in terms of the role of the chair as well, is that there are mechanisms in there to ensure that there will be a fair adjudication of the complaint, and that includes referring the matter to an external investigator, so should there be a conflict or a concern, that might be dealt with externally.
My review of the complaint process, from where I sit at some distance from the IRB, is that it strikes me as an appropriate process that will bear itself out over time.
