No preamble. I want to thank—Oh, this is a preamble. Sorry.
I want to thank the witness, Mr. Wilson, for pointing out that indirect impact that is allegedly there, the greater confidence of the public in the ability of police to protect them after a charge is laid. That's an important thing.
I just want to seek from you an acknowledgement as well that the net we've created here is not foolproof, and it's not going to produce huge results overnight, but it will allow police and courts to target appropriately and to have better ammunition in that regard, legal ammunition.
Having mentioned the word “ammunition”, won't the net that we create here also in theory include the individual, the buffoon, who has a couple of bullets in his pocket and tries to sell them? This is very theoretical, but it is a fact that the sections we've included in this reform include someone who has some ammunition in their pocket and they try to sell it. That's not really what we're trying to target here. So I'm seeking an acknowledgement that the net has been cast fairly wide—some will say not wide enough—but that we have to make sure that our courts, our police, and our legal aid components are at least on the case here, so that we don't end up misusing this section.
