Well, first of all, the new legislation applies to the RCMP. It applies not only to members of the RCMP, but also to public servants who are employed by the RCMP. I'm not an expert on the act; I have seen many of the parts of it. For the first time, it's very clear now that there is whistle-blower protection available throughout the entire range of employees of the RCMP, and that's very important.
As I understand it, the act for the RCMP allows the RCMP's own mechanisms with respect to their members to play out, but the whistle-blower has the ability to jump over and to deal with the parliamentary person who is responsible for it.
I think it's early days. As I understand it, the act was only proclaimed April 15, but I think this is a very positive step for the RCMP.
