Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To Mr. Francoeur, in your comments early on, you spoke about what you had witnessed. I think sometimes all of us get a bit caught up in expecting all of you to be tough cops—you've got jobs to do, and you simply do them without feeling, you do them without emotion. But you come here not just based on what you think should happen because you're non-emotional; you're here because you actually see it, you feel it. I think that gives you ostensibly the type of credibility that certainly helps us move forward.
So I just wanted to make that comment, that certainly your feelings on this are very well received and appreciated.
I do have a couple of questions. One is somewhat about the comments Tony made and the statistics he showed.
What we haven't heard here is a reference to the victims, who obviously have this intense sense of fear if the perpetrators who made them victims actually have the potential to be on bail. I wonder if you could comment on that a little bit.
