At least in our assessment, the detachment commanders or unit commanders certainly don't know how to deal with the cases. The problem, it would seem to us, is that those people perhaps aren't the best people to make the decision about what ought to happen because they're so close to the individuals involved. One could argue there's no assurance to outsiders that the review of the case is going to be done in an independent fashion. There's no assurance that it won't be minimized, dealt with informally when it should better be dealt with formally.
Now, arguably, through the regulations, the commissioner can do things to help ensure that doesn't happen. I guess we would have to wait to see what those are. Having said that, I think what's happened in the last couple of years, which has not happened before, and is perhaps one of the big reasons for Mr. Kennedy's concerns, is that it hasn't been clear that there's been a level of transparency and openness on these issues that we should expect there would be. There hasn't been a culture which causes people to understand that those kinds of things—objectivity, transparency, independence—are paramount. If you don't have that, then don't even get started.
I'm assuming, given the extent to which the changes to the act capture the spirit of the need to do that, we will have a good opportunity in the next few years to see the extent to which the RCMP is able to deliver on that and the commissioner is able to develop regulations which point in that direction. Certainly everything he said recently would suggest that he's fully committed to doing that.
