There are lots of questions with no definitive answers at this point. We are going to discuss options. Our preliminary thinking and in talking to the other jurisdictions that have similar legislation, I think they believe it is most successful to have people who were formerly police officers who understand the nature of surveillance who could have a good rapport and relationship with the RCMP. Members can imagine we want to be very careful not to disrupt ongoing investigations or surveillance the RCMP are conducting. So we need to work very closely with them and have to have people on our staff, or contractors, who the RCMP trusts and are able to cooperate with in order for this to be effective. Thank you.
