Thank you very much.

I thank the witnesses for their input.

Mr. Marshall, clauses 11 and 12 of the bill increase the so-called mandatory minimum punishment from 45 days to 90 days. Do you see any public policy difference or objective that would be obtained by doubling this 45-day minimum to 90 days? Do you see any purpose or benefit? Or is that a leading question?
