Thank you, Minister.
We've been down this road before on this particular concept. We hope to get it right this time. There are some merits to this.
I notice that the act provides the PCRC with some additional authorities, specifically for initiating complaint investigations into RCMP conduct when it's “in the public interest” to do so.
Can you help us understand what that means? Isn't it all going to be in the public interest? Why do you emphasize that you'll conduct those only when it's in the public interest to do so?
I would think that if a member of the public has a complaint, it would be in the public interest.
