I'm mainly going to speak to the officials from the Canada Safety Council and perhaps those from the Canadian Police Association as well.
You know as well as I do—and Mr. Rosenthal clearly explained it to you—that the random system can be dangerous. A slightly different system is used in Quebec. Authorities use section 624 of the Highway Safety Code. The police officer comes up, tells the driver that a light on his vehicle is out or that he didn't mark a stop at a given place, always under the Highway Safety Code. So these are not the same rules. The individual is stopped, opens his window, and the small of alcohol emerges. The police officer then asks him to follow him. The random system is already in existence. We agree that it isn't perfect; however, it has never been challenged in Quebec. The Highway Safety Code allows it and it's used there regularly.
My second question concerns the fact that we often agree that there will be excess costs, more cases, and so on. We witnessed a fairly singular event in Quebec. For a brief period of time, the cases prosecuted in the Criminal Division of the Court of Quebec, which at the time was called the Court of the Sessions of the Peace, became the responsibility of the municipal courts, and thus of the municipalities. And do you know who complained about that? It was the people from the Criminal Division of the Court of Quebec. They said that nearly 80% of their caseload had been taken away from them. It's a serious thing to say, but it's a fact.
Police officers come and testify before the Criminal Division of the Court of Quebec, but also in municipal court. The costs are not the same because there aren't the same conventions, the same judges and so on. I'd like you to tell me whether that's a problem or whether someone wants us to believe that it is.
