Yes, but a regulation can't exist without a statute.
I guess the answer to my question is that there shouldn't be a competent authority anywhere that doesn't have the authority by regulation, be it a statute or be it the statute itself.
Without getting into detail, there are other types of ways we deal with justice, and other types of issues in Canada. I'm wondering if those would not be considered competent authorities. It would have to be by statute. I'm getting the sense that, yes, it would have to be by statute and, thereby, regulation.
