First of all, thank you to the witnesses for appearing—those we see and those we don't.
My question is directed to Mr. McLeod. Of course, the reforms proposed in Bill C-26 allow property owners, and persons authorized by them such as security guards, to arrest persons they find committing a criminal offence, whether the offence is seen via technology or as an eyewitness. It authorizes them to make the arrest at that time, or within a reasonable period of time—you've spoken about that—after they have found the person committing the offence. Of course, the property owner or the security guard in question has to have reasonable grounds, under the circumstances, for not calling a police officer to come to the site. You've talked about how the overwhelming amount of incidents would dictate that perhaps a police officer can't be there.
With that in mind, how important is it to allow people authorized by property owners, such as security guards, to conduct citizens' arrests? You've talked about saving money with this and about the fact that the police cannot attend because of the overwhelming number of incidents. Can you give us some examples to illustrate that?
