Thank you very much.
I appreciate the information that all three witnesses have provided to this committee today. Thank you for being here.
I'm starting to come to the conclusion that out of our committee there's one thing we could almost have unanimous agreement on, which is that a one-year limitation period for serious code of conduct infractions is ridiculous.
From what I can gather from the Brown report, the conduct was very serious, and because this arbitrary one-year rule was in place, procedures couldn't be implemented. I think that's most unfortunate. Some limitation periods can go as high as 10 years for serious things--seven years, five years--but one year just seems to be a very low standard.
I'm curious, Ms. McLellan; would you have any comments or suggestions on what the committee should be looking at in terms of a limitation on something like that--or the task force, as far as that goes--with your expertise?
