I simply want to say that, as regards expert witnesses, training costs and human resources are not the only things to be considered. There is also the length of time. This is an occupation that one gets better at through experience, over many years. However, it is not easy to retain people in these positions for many years, so that they can become real experts. It is a constant challenge to have enough experts available, because of the way people's careers and criminal cases evolve.
Just to follow up on a question posed earlier by Mr. Petit, I want to point out that the number of criminal organizations being targeted through such a measure is very limited.

These 53 criminal biker gang organizations, which we cited as an example, are recognized around the world and are not the type of organizations that would want to change their name. Indeed, the culture of these organizations is such that changing their name would be an affront to their pride, their reputation and their strength in terms of their capacity for violence and intimidation. Based on our experience, that is not something that is likely to happen.
