Part of the reason I mention it is that a consistent feedback we've received from most of our witnesses is that there is no consistent definition of “hate crime” across the country. There is the collection of data on hate crimes across the country, but it's not apples to apples everywhere. For me it's important for us to have that within our education system as well, whether it's with our children or with our teachers. That's the reason I've asked that. It's good to know that there is a protocol.
