Absolutely. When this office was set up, the model, as you will know, is set out in an order in council. When I was appointed minister, I took a look at that order in council, and the mandate was clear. The office was in the process of being operational. I asked the CORE to establish the office and to implement the OIC as published. I believe the CORE has the tools and the instruments she needs to be an effective mechanism for human rights abroad. Ms. Meyerhoffer herself testified before this committee and stated that she had the necessary powers and resources and tools to be effective.
I have full confidence in the work that Ms. Meyerhoffer will be doing. As I said, now that the complaints process is open, she will be able to take those in. As with any program, we want to give it the time and focus to do the very important work that the CORE is now embarking on.
