Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Has the department looked at the summaries of the decisions handed down under sections 467.11, 467.12 or 467.13? If the committee wanted to obtain more information on court rulings, would you be able to provide us with the summaries? I am not talking about all the decisions, because that would be too long. It would be important both with regard to the bill being studied as well as for our study on organized crime, which we will be beginning shortly.

Certainly we do have information on reported decisions. I'm sure we could make that available, as organized by different issues—for example, what constitutes a material benefit, who is a criminal organization, etc.

Thank you to both of our witnesses.
There was some information you had volunteered to deliver to the committee, as Monsieur Ménard had requested some. If it could just be a sampling of the cases, I think that would be helpful. There were also some statistics you were going to provide us as well. If you can get those to the clerk, it would be very helpful.
Thank you to both of you.
We'll briefly suspend and then we'll go in camera.
[Proceedings continue in camera]
