Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Wilks, for coming today and also for sharing with us some of your own experiences.
I have to thank you for your years of service. I think it's impossible to underestimate the impact of what you see during the course of your career. It's clear that the impact it must have on you is part of what motivates you here today.
I have what I hope are two relatively quick questions, and then I'd like to share my time, if I may, with Monsieur Jacob.
First, I'll start from the perspective of having a little difficulty with piecemeal amendments to the Criminal Code, so I'm wondering whether or not you had an opportunity or tried to propose this for inclusion in Bill C-10 as part of a broader scheme. If not, or if so, why did the government not include this at the time?
