Thank you very much.

I want to continue in that vein of questioning. You mentioned a proportionate and fair fine. Of course, as you know, I was in the criminal justice system for some period of time, and I had the opportunity to see surcharges waived on a consistent basis, even in northern Alberta.

I see you nodding your head in agreement, so you understand that this is the situation: 80% to 90% of the time, they are waived. What is proportionate and fair, in your mind?
