Investigations - The Commissioner may, from
time to time, appoint a person to investigate and report on any matter
affecting the operation of the Service and, for that purpose, the person
so appointed has all of the powers of a commissioner appointed under Part
II of the Inquiries Act, and section 10 of that Act applies, with such
modifications as the circumstances require, in respect of investigations
carried on under the authority of this section. [RSC 1970 cP-6 s12] |

| - An inquiry under this section should not be equaled with a criminal proceeding. The mere fact that such an inquiry might involve consideration of allegations which would amount to criminal offences does not turn the inquiry into a criminal proceeding or one for the enforcement of the criminal law. Further, the holding of such an inquiry, per se, will not necessarily infringe any right guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. | ||
