You may have already heard from Josh Paterson of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association. I know that they will have significant submissions on that.
The reality is that oversight needs to be independent of Corrections. In fact, without that, this bill is unconstitutional. I think it's very clear. We have many, many years of reports and recommendations. We have great laws on the books, but unless there is external oversight....
What would that look like? That could look like a tribunal or an independent decision-maker appointed to be independent from Corrections. It could be like a chairperson who is currently appointed for disciplinary hearings outside of Corrections. It could be a tribunal like the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal or some other tribunal. It could be the courts. You'd have to get approval from the court for any segregation or isolation over a certain number of days. For example, 15 days is the international standard under the Nelson Mandela rules. There are different ways that could be achieved.
My own view is that court oversight is the best and most likely route to have meaningful independence, because there's always the potential for regulatory capture and layers of administrative tribunals. It's very difficult to get timely results.
