I think the quicker we can move through these things, the less time it takes for us to sit there and wonder what's happening. Obviously, again, it's going to be as quick as it is working with our Crown prosecutor partners around what this looks like before we lay these charges. When you add layers of approvals, it slows things down. There have been times when we've laid some charges and it's taken up to 18 months. It continues to have an impact on the communities and those who are affected by this. Regardless of the outcome of the AG decision on it, it's quite impactful for both sides. The quicker we can make the appropriate decisions....
I think there are checks and balances along the way, and investigation and consultation with prosecutors, to ensure that the evidence exists for these charges. Although the AG consent has been in place since its introduction to the Criminal Code in the sixties, there's been an increase in accountability and improved procedures since that time. Currently, proceeding with charges rests solely on the decision right now of the AG. Removing that allows us to move that a bit more quickly, and I think has less impact on those involved.
