At present, collecting a report is an official function. There are specific legal requirements for what needs to be in the report, how they need to be safeguarded and things like that. The mechanism we've set up is that we have a military police officer embedded within our centre, and so if people who contact the centre wish to speak to the police and wish to pursue making a report, we can facilitate access to our military police officer. This is not a small measure—it's not simply our giving them a phone number to call any MP. This is a specialized and national investigator.
The other very important aspect is that callers can speak to him anonymously. They can talk about what has happened to them, and he can do two things. First, he can give them an idea as to whether or not what they've experienced might meet the threshold for a Criminal Code offence, so that knowing they wouldn't meet the threshold, they wouldn't embark on a long and difficult process. Second, if they choose to make a report, he can explain the process very thoroughly so they can go into it with that information. We find that when people choose to speak to the MP anonymously, in the majority of cases they will call back later on to identify themselves and make an official report.
