I know, after reading the documents, but there has always been a prosecution branch. I do understand that it is the federal government that has to institute proceedings. However, since the government wants to appoint a Director of Public Prosecutions, and given that it wants to take more than $100 million from the budget in order to set up something separate, I am trying to understand what the operational benefits will be. What will that change in the federal government's role as a prosecutor? We are in a situation where things have improved. How will having a Director of Public Prosecutions change things? I do not know who this person will be: we have not yet selected the person who will be in this position. I am trying to understand what more this will give us.
