If you care to elaborate on that, that would be very helpful.
Colleagues, I appreciate your humouring me through this.
We thank you very much, Mr. Therrien, for coming once again. I'm sure it would be helpful, actually, at some point in time during the end of our study, once we've heard from more witnesses on this, to have you return to clear up some of the questions and concerns we'll have, so don't be surprised if you get an invitation.
We'll suspend for a few minutes, colleagues, to get ready for our next witnesses.
We're resuming now. In order to keep to the agenda this time, I'm going to be much more strict on the seven-minute and five-minute rounds of questioning. That's the only way we can get through our one-hour time sessions. I am going to get straight to it.
We have, from the B.C. Freedom of Information and Privacy Association, via videoconference, someone who is no stranger to this committee, Mr. Vincent Gogolek.
We appreciate you joining us again today, sir.
We also have Ms. Valerie Steeves, who is appearing as an individual. She is a full professor in the department of criminology at the University of Ottawa.
Ms. Steeves, you have up to 10 minutes, so go ahead, please.
