I definitely think that giving the tools, for example, some powers through statutes or other means so the investigators can go out and do a job, will make a big difference. I believe from my experience, and I'm an investigator at ICCRC, we do a tremendous job. I think that we are covering it with respect to regulated members. We're doing very well. I think that based on that we should keep the regulator, should expand on it, and give more powers to go.... I don't think there would be an abuse of powers if you get the right people. If, for example, you have trained ex-RCMP or police officers in there, who have spent their whole lives in investigations and know how to do them, then certainly going after ghost consultants.... It's not like a murder case. It's not the most difficult thing to do, but you need the authority to do it.
