One thing we are doing is to separate the investigation of a crime from the administration of the program. Though both the investigation and the administration take place under the RCMP, we feel the RCMP are best placed to administer the program. I know there have been suggestions of perhaps having the Department of Justice take over the administration. Quite frankly, the Department of Justice does not administer programs per se, and that is not a good fit.
I have not heard of any complaints about the RCMP administering the program, but I think it is important to separate the administration of the program from the investigation of the crime so that the legislative criteria are considered on an independent basis. Obviously they're going to have input from the police, who say they think or don't think a particular person is an inappropriate candidate.
Assistant Commissioner, perhaps...?
