In my mind, I think there are. The RCMP's role clearly falls in the domain of criminal investigation leading to prosecution. Ours tends to be much more further behind that, if you will, in terms of an intelligence or security intelligence investigation.
In the case of the conspiracy in Toronto in which a number of people were arrested last year, we had been looking at that for over a year before it was turned over to the RCMP and other police forces as a criminal investigation, which took, I think, the last six months of the process prior to the arrests. So I think in terms of what we've done over the last several years--joint collaboration, the changed memorandum of understanding, and so on--there are a number of improvements that have been made to ensure greater clarity.
I would say, though, that there is still an issue that we are looking at with the RCMP and the Department of Justice that relates principally to the question as to how intelligence information can be used in the criminal prosecution, because the standards by which we collect intelligence information sometimes differ from those used by police forces. In order for our information to be used, we may have to look at changing some of our practices to facilitate that.
