I think you've heard from my colleagues testifying today that there's no reluctance throughout the country to prosecute. I think there are major prosecutions involving organized crime and guns and gangs throughout the country.
Where the investigative tools and the infrastructure are there in terms of crown attorneys working with the police, crown attorneys from the provincial organizations working together with federal prosecutors to prosecute drugs too, the prosecutions are happening. There is no gap, if I could respectfully submit.
We're talking about Bill C-14. We're talking about first-degree murder deemed. I would respectfully submit that there's going to be no plethora of new charges laid because of this tool.
Quite frankly, the police want to get the matter into the courts expeditiously and efficiently. The added layer is not going to assist them. I think that's the point I'm trying to make here. There's no reluctance in this country to prosecute.
