I would first like to thank you all for appearing today. This is all very interesting.
Since we began studying Bill C-35, only one witness has expressed reservations; that was this morning. Everyone, except for one person, was in favour of the bill. One of the reasons why he was more or less in favour of enforcing the bill was that, in his view, most people who commit firearm offences are already incarcerated de facto.
I would like to know whether you have any statistics to that effect. You have some concerning Toronto and Montreal. I would like to know the proportion of criminals who are incarcerated under existing laws. We are studying this bill and we understand, on a philosophical level, the scope of your arguments, but do you have any figures to provide to us?
