Mr. Kafieh had talked about the impact of not having this oversight and not having somebody to go to. He talked about the impact on particularly Arab and Muslim Canadians who don't feel there's anywhere they can turn. They find it difficult to trust these institutions. They don't have that independent oversight.
But there is the other side of that coin, and I want to come back to some comments you made, Ms. Heafey, that I think are extremely important and aren't talked about enough--namely, the benefits to the agency itself. When we're talking about public trust in an institution, if you don't have the independent oversight that has the full legislative power to do what it needs to do to probe into these cases proactively, it hurts these agencies, doesn't it? You mentioned it with regard to SIRC, but there's also the RCMP.
Do you feel that if the RCMP had this, it would be much stronger as an agency, and public opinion of it would be much stronger? Perhaps you would just comment on that.
