I believe that certainly at times the suggested leniency that causes a great deal of focus on specific repeat chronic offenders has a very detrimental effect on public perception. I had just made a note as you asked the question, sir, and I believe too that it causes the people who are responsible for the delivery of justice—and also responsible for the management within municipalities, within provinces, and so on—to spend an inordinate amount of time in the management of such cases, such as in the example I suggested. I can't imagine how much time would be involved in putting together 53 individual packages for presentation.
