Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I too, like Mr. Bagnell, served on the justice committee in the 39th Parliament. I have to say we didn't meet in the afternoons—we actually met in the mornings—and Mr. Bagnell, through great strain and consternation, subjected himself to an alcohol intake so he could be tested on the machine, if you will. It was an amazing sacrifice he made that morning, and he proved that the machine did work. So it was a case study that was well documented.
This is a question to you, Mr. Robertson. I'm sorry, I can't quite see you; we're on the same side of the table here.
We didn't quite take this approach, in terms of getting into the details of our court system and where things stood as part of the rationale as to whether or not we should lower to 0.05 from 0.08. You talked a lot about the defence counsel, or mentioned the defence counsel, and the amount of time it takes to prepare for a case. Could you take me through that a little bit, to suggest why it takes so much longer for the defence to prepare a case in this regard than it does for the crown?
