So you're unable to say whether or not the end result would be different. If we had the statistics, it might show that 75% of people who are being accused with Bill C-35 types of offences right now are being refused bail. Nobody can say. I can go out in the public and say that and nobody could contradict me. The only thing you could say is, “We don't have the statistics to show whether what she's saying is true or not”, and people could choose to believe me. Someone else could go out and say, “Every single person charged with a firearm-related offence that comes under Bill C-35 gets bail”, and we would not be in a position to contradict them, except to say, “Well, we haven't seen any hard facts to back it up”.
