If someone is seeking protection, my understanding is that the RCMP investigates because it is a federal jurisdiction.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3182324\" data-originallang=\"en\">The changes with Bill <a data-HoCid=\"5926081\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-51/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Witness Protection Program Act and to make a consequential amendment to another Act\">C-51</a> would actually improve the eligibility criteria to allow more people who seek protection to see that protection made available to them.</p>",

Ainsi, si une victime demandait la protection, je crois comprendre que c'est la GRC qui ferait enqu\u00eate puisque la question est de comp\u00e9tence f\u00e9d\u00e9rale.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3182324\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les modifications propos\u00e9es dans le projet de loi <a data-HoCid=\"5926081\" href=\"/bills/41-1/C-51/\" title=\"An Act to amend the Witness Protection Program Act and to make a consequential amendment to another Act\">C-51</a> am\u00e9lioreraient les crit\u00e8res d'admissibilit\u00e9 pour qu'un plus grand nombre de personnes r\u00e9ussissent \u00e0 l'obtenir de la protection.</p>"
