Thank you.
I'm sorry, you're quite right. Mr. Murphy had raised that question.There were a lot of things in his question and I was trying to address as many as I could.
You have a mechanism right now and--I guess this is the one thing that I should have put in my opening remarks--there's no need to create a list. There's no need to create a special judicial notice provision or an evidentiary presumption, which is really what has been discussed here, whether or not it has been labelled as such.
Right now there is a provision in the Criminal Code, section 657.3, that allows either party, certainly the crown, to have an expert prepare an affidavit, and as I'm sure most, if not all, members of this committee know, an affidavit can have exhibits. You can take the testimony, the evidence, that was given in the Hells Angels case in Barrie in the Lindsay and Bonner case, and you can have the same expert or another expert who is going to testify in Manitoba or the other Ontario case, have read the testimony, attach it as an exhibit to his affidavit, and it becomes evidence in the next case. Unless the defence has something that is going to challenge that or that's going to be a different challenge than was raised in the previous case, I would have thought that the good sense of most judges is going to apply in the same way as this committee is saying, which is, why would the finding in one court not apply to the next?
