Thank you very much for the question.
That's actually a difficult question to answer. It would depend on the complexity of the circumstances.
To give you an appreciation, immediately, if we're talking about an incident of sexual assault, the first order of business is to collect any physical evidence there may be of a assault having taken place. That is obviously done as quickly as possible so that we preserve that evidence and can utilize it later on.
Then comes the point of questioning witnesses who may or may not have seen what occurred. That depends on where those witnesses may be. It depends on the circumstances of where the alleged offence occurred. If it occurred on an operation somewhere abroad, and everybody is now dispersed back to Canada to their home stations, that makes things a little more difficult for us. Certainly, if it occurs on a Friday night and we've collected evidence that night and have got into the stage of interviewing witnesses, that's a case that's going to move a lot more quickly than a historical case would, for example.
