Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for your comments and information this afternoon.
We've spoken about witness intimidation a number of times. If you had been here this morning, you would have heard a rather heart-wrenching story from Mr. Floyd Wiebe, whose son, T.J. Wiebe, was murdered here in Winnipeg some years ago. One of the things that struck me about what he said was that the mastermind criminal who convinced the other three to murder his son was acquitted because the witnesses were intimidated and wouldn't testify or give the testimony necessary to convict that individual.
You mentioned, Chief Weighill, your concerns about witnesses being intimidated. My question to you is this: what can we do about that? What changes to the law or changes to witness protection can we make to solve that problem so that more witnesses will be prepared to come forward and give the testimony necessary to convict some of these very dangerous criminals?
