        "en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2427189\" data-originallang=\"en\">It's one of the reasons I've suggested having the ability to have some kind of administrative monetary penalty mechanism. That would give me the ability--especially if there's a continuum--to go from my practice now of educating, to do referrals to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2427190\" data-originallang=\"en\">In certain situations you can have a continuum that will allow for repeated offences and different levels of transgressions. I've seen that with some of my colleagues in the provinces, who have the ability to issue penalties. If I saw something, especially if I thought it was in the public interest and wanted to get something out, I could do a file, do an administrative penalty, and it would be within my control as to how fast I moved on a file. I wouldn't be dependent on another body to look at it.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2427189\" data-originallang=\"en\">C'est entre autres pourquoi je sugg\u00e8re qu'on me permette d'employer un genre de m\u00e9canisme et d'imposer des sanctions administratives p\u00e9cuniaires. Je pourrais ainsi \u2014 en particulier s'il y a un continuum \u2014 sensibiliser les gens comme je le fais \u00e0 l'heure actuelle et adresser des cas \u00e0 la GRC. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2427190\" data-originallang=\"en\">Dans certaines situations, vous pouvez avoir un continuum qui vous permet de g\u00e9rer les cas d'infractions r\u00e9p\u00e9t\u00e9es et les diff\u00e9rents niveaux de transgression. Certains de mes confr\u00e8res dans les gouvernements provinciaux peuvent imposer des sanctions. Si je constatais quelque chose, en particulier si je pensais que c'\u00e9tait d'int\u00e9r\u00eat public et si je voulais en savoir plus, je pourrais pr\u00e9parer un dossier, imposer une sanction administrative et progresser \u00e0 mon rythme. Je ne d\u00e9pendrais pas d'un autre organisme. </p>"
