We have legislation passed by the Government of Canada to provide protection to those who come forward with information or allegations of impropriety. We have the creation of the Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner. Internal to the RCMP, there is what I guess I would describe as informal reinvigoration of the role of the ethics adviser, but I think up to this point nothing further formally has been put in place. I think that is a shortcoming and I think that it should be addressed. One of the things we are examining in the course of our work in support of the task force is what those mechanisms might be.
