That committee, really, is a group of people who look at best practices, trends that they've seen, the need for further education in the organization, and become a kind of centre of knowledge in terms of what has occurred in cases. There are almost precedents set, so if someone says x or y, here's really where it fits into the big scheme of things in terms of disciplinary action or potential resolutions.... Because the commander of the recruitment development bureau is also the chair of that committee, that's the narrow part of the hourglass for the OPP and it's all tracked through there, they really become the subject-matter experts in terms of giving advice to investigators and workplace harassment advisers or liaisons who are across the OPP. It becomes that centre of excellence, basically, to make sure we're all doing things the same way.
