What we can speak to are the number of cases. There are 871 cases, representing 1,633 charges. We are able to look at all of the charges in the case, and in order to present all of that information, we present the most serious, and the most serious are defined first by the decision. So in your example we can't speak to plea negotiation, but we do know that generally within the data set, 90% of convictions come with a guilty plea, and for these cases that contain one of the Bill C-35 offences, it's down to 84%. But some of those Bill C-35 offences also contain mandatory minimums.
