That's an excellent question. I would answer it this way. The enforcement landscape involves investigations, laying charges, prosecutions and depriving criminals of the proceeds of their crimes. It's a spectrum of actions that need to work together. When we look at effective enforcement and how we can improve that, we try to see how we can improve each one of those elements and create a stronger framework to achieve more prosecutions and charges and to deprive criminals of the proceeds of crime. This looks at criminal aspects, civilian forfeiture regimes and other elements, and it links to both what the federal government can do and what provincial counterparts can do. They are all involved in all four of those aspects of effective enforcement.
