Thank you.
In your statement, or perhaps in answer to me, you talked about how the crown wanted to bring forward a lot of evidence about the gang or the organization in question. I inferred, after thinking about it, that you were suggesting that they wanted the public spectacle of the bad guys, and they did this for the purpose of that, and not really towards furthering the case necessarily. That's one thing that I inferred from your comments, and I wonder why you think that. That's number one.
Number two, let's distinguish between the gang that consists of three people, and they get their name from someone else and they have leather jackets that they put their own mark on. Let's say it's the Hells Angels Motor Club, which is a very sophisticated financial organization that permeates every part of society in parts of this country. Let's just talk about them. What really would be the harm in saying, “You're a Hells Angels member; this will expedite the trial.” They will not deny.... I'm going to ask you that, because you've had clients, I suppose, who might have been.... Are they going to deny being members of the Hells Angels Motor Club, or one of the top three organizations like that? Are they going to morph into something and become the Réal Ménard Club? No. They're always going to be the Hells Angels Motor Club. They're proud of being what they are.
So what is it that they're going to shirk from? Like a terrorist organization, they're not going to deny who they are, so why isn't this a shortcut? Forget about the gang of three there.
