Mr. McPhail, there was some exchange earlier to help us clarify very good questions from the other side on the relationship between provinces and the new commission. I wanted to touch on that a bit. There are clear features of the bill that basically hand off investigative authority to provincial agencies. Then you work your way back up the chain. If the provinces at various different levels don't want to do it, then eventually you'd get back with some kind of RCMP-based investigation.
I have two questions there. There are only a few provinces—maybe it's four or something—that actually have proper, independent investigation offices of the sort really needed here. Others don't, and yet the legislation would allow the province to appoint a regular police force in the province to engage in the investigation. In some areas of RCMP responsibility, especially, for example, areas that touch on or are very close to national security, aren't there reasons to be concerned about the knowledge levels, the competence levels, and the background experience of provincial bodies to investigate this, and if there is some reason, is there any way out?
