I would tend to agree. Certainly, in my experience as somebody who has appeared in the criminal justice system, the public interest can be defined in a sufficiently broad way. That is certainly the intent of this bill. It is to open up another avenue whereby an individual, a third party or indeed the deputy heads or the chair of the commission can look into any concerns around either the professional conduct of the RCMP and CBSA or the level of service that the individual involved may have received.
This is a watershed piece of legislation. I agree with you; we've seen this type of bill before. My commitment is to work with you and to work with all parliamentarians to see this version passed into law as quickly as possible.
