Canada-China Relations committee I don't know the specifics of the investigations you're referring to, but what I can say is that, of course, we have to meet the threshold of our Criminal Code if, in fact, we are going to lay charges.

Canada-China Relations committee In the media, they've referred to them as police stations. For us, it's any place that causes interference, intimidation or harassment in any form.

Canada-China Relations committee I don't have that at my level. People have used that phone number. We will follow up on every investigation and every lead that we get. These are complicated investigations. They're not as straightforward as one would think.

Commr Brenda Lucki
Canada-China Relations committee No. They are quite complex investigations, but what I would do is encourage any of the people who are coming to you, who don't feel safe....

Commr Brenda Lucki
Canada-China Relations committee Yes, absolutely. We give them our toll-free number so that they can provide us with the necessary information. Also, if they're willing to come forward, we will, of course, use their statement in our investigation.

Commr Brenda Lucki
Canada-China Relations committee Obviously, engagement with the public is one of the first things that we need to do, because our goal is to ensure that the public feels safe in their own communities.
