Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, gentlemen, for being here.
I was the one who asked to have you come in. I did so because of the CBC news article a week and a half ago, which was talking about the Ponzi scheme in Toronto. I realize that neither one of you was directly involved in that, but coming out of that story was the message that you've recounted again today about the lack of resources in terms of ability to prosecute.
I'd like to ask both of you if you've had clients in your offices who have been victims of that type of scheme. Have you had cases in which it appeared to you that prosecution should have gone ahead, but did not, simply because the crown and/or the police did not have the necessary resources to prepare the case?
