Mr. Chairman, I'd like to come back to a question Mrs. Freeman raised.
This bill is wanted. I have read documents that said that impersonation, or identity theft in Canada, costs billions of dollars, to say nothing of the other consequences. Obviously, the most widespread form is cloned credit or debit cards. This is a real nightmare for the people this happens to, and it's an entirely legitimate concern.
But this raises the following question. There's the public information dimension, which we will have to talk about when the bill is passed, and there's the procedural dimension, which is related to the investigations, which will be up to those who will be laying charges and who could end up requesting additional resources. According to your bill, a trust will provide for the hiring of 2,000 police officers. I imagine that one-third of those resources will be allocated to Quebec. Your public safety colleague is responsible for that file.
Don't you get the feeling that apart from the charges that may be laid by police officers, it all has to do with investigative techniques? How do you think this bill is going to make it easier to lay charges and prosecute criminals?
