Thank you very much. I hope I continue to be blessed by the gods in your turn, Mr. Ménard.
You asked about the rationale particularly. There are a number of provisions. One is with respect to peace bonds. We've had basically universal agreement that moving it from 12 to 24 months actually would be of some assistance in terms of dealing with some of those individuals.
In addition, we are trying to address the Supreme Court of Canada decision in the Regina v. Johnson decision. We've had actually a decline in the number of successful applications. In some cases, even attempts to designate an individual as a dangerous offender added some uncertainty to the process, and there has been uneven interpretation across the country, so we are trying to standardize that.
In addition, you asked what the rationale would be between some of these offences and the study by Mr. Hoover and others. These were the ones most often the subject of those dangerous offender applications. Yes, we are zeroing in on the ones who have been found to be dangerous offenders, and part of what we are trying to do is to make sure that through inadvertence or oversight we are not missing the opportunity to have someone.... So that's why we asked the Crown to direct attention to this.
