Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
This is a brief question, perhaps to Chief Superintendent White. What we've learned at this committee and what we've learned in conversations across the country is that police forces across the country--the RCMP obviously being the biggest one--are wrestling with the very difficult context of economic crime. We've seen in Quebec examples of white collar crime that have shaken confidence in whole sectors of the economy. We've seen it across the country. It's not only in Quebec, but it has achieved a lot of media attention there.
One thing we've heard, Chief Superintendent, is that again, Criminal Code amendments are part of the solution--tough sentencing, making it impossible to receive accelerated parole, for example. These are all things we would support. But our sense from police officers is that that alone is not enough. The police forces are asking for more resources and more tools, whether it's amending the Criminal Code with respect to electronic surveillance or modernizing some of the technology that police can access.
I'm wondering if you could very briefly tell us what other suggestions you have for this committee or for Parliament in terms of making your life easier in catching these criminals, hopefully before, as Mr. MacRury said, much damage is done.
