I will be brief.

In the United States, the UK, European Union Member States and in Australia, commissioners have the power to investigate. I do not understand why here, in North America, Canada has not had this power to investigate since 1986—it existed before 1986. In the rest of North America, in the United States, they have this power to investigate, and so do the 24 countries of the European Union. It would lead one to believe that Canada is beyond reproach.
