I had that discussion with some of the criminal investigators in our guns and gang section this morning, and I know the Criminal Code does have a definition of “organized crime”, because I looked it up this morning as well. The discussion was around whether or not that would be included in the Criminal Code to make it easier. We're talking about street gangs here; organized crime is a whole different kettle of fish. But yes, it would give some standardization and some common application across Canada.
