Thank you, Chair.
Paragraph 26(1)(b) would read as follows:
use information obtained by the Commission under a review conducted under subsection 28(1) or (2)
—the amendment is striking out “section 28” and replacing it with “subsection 28(1) or (2)”—
or section 29 of any activity that was, is or may be carried out by the RCMP 25 or Agency if
Subparagraph 26(1)(b)(i) would read:
(i) the information is relevant and necessary to the conduct of a review under subsection 28(1) or (2) or section 29
—the amendment is adding “or section 29”—
of any similar activity that was, is or may be carried out by the RCMP or Agency, and
The rationale for this change is simply to allow another specified activity review—the information contained within that—to be part of an investigation that the PCRC would do. It's already included in the legislation that other information can be included in the PCRC review; however, it does not included information from what might be a provincial review, and in some cases where, for example, the jurisdiction does actually fall under our provincial counterparts. This simply includes that if there were another activity review, that information could be included in the work that the PCRC is doing.
