I think the examples that I cited in my testimony speak to an inconsistent enforcement of the law. Provisions within this bill would help to clarify and focus law enforcement in some crucial areas.
As I mentioned, our position is that the status quo with Attorney General consent is not functioning as it should. The system would benefit from clear guidelines, requirements and transparency to ensure that Attorneys General are engaging with these crimes and cases with the seriousness that they merit, that they are not allowing any political considerations to enter the fray and that they would move forward quickly. The alternative to that, of course, is ensuring that private prosecutions still benefit from Attorney General consent to ensure those are not abused.
