When Mr. Townsend, the staff relations representative, was here, he pointed to proposed section 36.2. We think that's a fairly significant advancement because it's stating the principles that will apply to sanctioning misconduct in the RCMP. That doesn't exist. Other jurisdictions will have statements about what is aggravating or mitigating. It's a pretty significant statement, because stakeholders will now know that it is not punishment necessarily, that it's remedial, corrective, and educative where appropriate. When you state that's Parliament's intention, I think it's pretty significant that you have to find a balance in where you are working it out. People are going to disagree about sanctioning and misconduct.
I think that's a fairly significant step. It gives some assurance to stakeholders that there will be a balanced approach because the staff relations program would be concerned about notions that immediately things should be moved into a formal process because they fall into a certain category.
