Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, gentlemen, for appearing, and ma'am, thank you for coming before the committee.
I'm always interested to hear what the police have to say. I know the police associations don't always agree on everything. When you look at the regional differences across the country, there are viewpoints that are somewhat different between regions. Be that as it may, I know that it's very clear you're looking at this legislation in a very favourable light.
Most of the representation here reflects big cities, but there may be some rural differences. There are shootings in the rural areas as well as in the urban centres.
Some statistics were offered on page 6, Mr. Cannavino, and I'm curious about something. When you talk about, for instance, the 32 people facing murder or manslaughter charges for homicide in 2006, and that 14 were out on bail at the time of the offence, are you inferring that in each one of these cases there was a firearm involved?
