Thank you for that. That's very helpful. I think that could reassure folks who may be skeptical about the OPC being able to collaborate effectively on joint investigations or other activities that are within his or her purview.
The other thing that strikes me is that one of the things that is hard to compare is how long an appeal would take through the court system and how much more costly it would be compared to going through the administrative tribunal route. I can't remember how many times Mr. Williams said in his original opening remarks that justice delayed is justice denied. I was thinking the whole time—and am still thinking, at this very moment—how we're hearing very clearly that the tribunal is not going to delay justice. What's going to delay justice is not having a tribunal, because the tribunal is going to speed up the process and remove and compress the timeline.
How do we know that, though? That's what I'm looking for. Do we have any evidence and documentation of this that could be submitted to the committee?
I know it would be hard to do a comparison because you wouldn't take both routes, but maybe there's some way to show and reassure folks who are skeptical about that, because we've heard quite a few arguments that members opposite think it is going to delay justice, it is going to be more bureaucratic and it's going to add a layer that's unneeded.
I think having any additional evidence and data on that would be very helpful. Is there anything you could provide to further substantiate the fact that the tribunal will actually make things more effective, speed things up and make them less costly?
