We looked at all the jurisdictions across the country in terms of their individual caseloads, in terms of their conviction rates, and we found Quebec had the lowest conviction rate of any other jurisdiction of the cases going to trial. We didn't look at how the costing was done for particular cases, but we did find very comparable trends across all the jurisdictions. We found Quebec probably faced the greatest challenge in prosecuting cases because evidence to the contrary was significant. They tended to do more cases in the 0.08 range and they also had more delays in going to trial.
