Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank all the witnesses.
I have a couple of technical questions regarding the establishment of gang activity and organized crime. I'm going to direct them to Mr. Richmond. I have three questions.
Very quickly, could you walk me through what you have to establish for a court to be convinced that it is organized crime or gang activity? Two, is the test a balance of probability, or is it beyond a reasonable doubt? Third, why do you have to do it every time? Will the courts not take judicial notice of the existence of the particular criminal organization such as the Bandidos or Hells Angels?
