Government Operations committee  Again, we'd welcome the views of the committee on that also.

Government Operations committee  We have that, and we can share it with the committee.

Government Operations committee  I'm told it's two or three years old.

Government Operations committee  Again, we haven't had the experience of applying it, so as I mentioned, we have applied it the way the act was given to us. We would welcome direction on that from the committee, should the committee want to consider those changes.

Government Operations committee  I take your word that other jurisdictions are doing this, and in that sense the feasibility would have to be measured on how successful it is with them.

Government Operations committee  Remember we don't bring in; Parliament brings in. If there were a rationale as to why it wasn't at that time—

Government Operations committee  I'll expand your question just a bit, because it might be of interest also. We've also compared the structure of the act with those of the U.K., Australia, the United States, and—

Government Operations committee  With the list of wrongdoings as an open list, we're going to run into a problem where other means of redress also address items on those open lists, certain items that would now fall into that, and you would have conflicts in legislation, so it is important to try to capture only

Government Operations committee  No, we don't have a process in place to review the act. This is where the act gets reviewed, right here and now. We are given the act in the form in which the government of the day gave it to us. Our responsibility and the commissioner's responsibility is to implement the act as
