Reference committee may give commission directions about investigations
29 Reference committee may give commission directions about investigations
The reference committee may give the commission directions imposing limitations on a crime investigation, including limitations on the exercise of the commission’s powers for the investigation.
The reference committee may also direct the commission to end a particular crime investigation if the committee considers—
it may be more appropriate for another entity to undertake the investigation; or
it may be more effective for another entity to undertake the investigation; or
investigation by the commission is not a justifiable use of resources; or
investigation by the commission is not in the public interest.
The commission must comply with a direction given under subsection (1) or (2).
To remove any doubt, it is declared that section 29(2)(d) is not limited by section 28(3) or (4).
