The argument has been made that if the Internal Economy Committee really doesn't have the mandate to impose sanctions, but yet it did seem to impose sanctions — I mean, referring somebody to the RCMP is not nothing — and certainly now beginning to impose restrictions — because it's already been imposed on Senator Wallin on her travel — that's a sanction that's actually been contemplated in this motion.
Certains ont avancé que le Comité de la régie interne n'a pas l'autorité d'imposer des sanctions. Il semble pourtant en avoir imposé, puisque le fait de transférer un cas à la GRC a des conséquences importantes.
