Thank you very much for that, Chief Chu, and Assistant Commissioner Oliver.
As we're all aware, evolving computer and communications technologies have made some crimes easier to commit and harder to investigate. In Canada, crime is currently being investigated using practices that do not always reflect the emergence of these new technologies. You alluded to part VI. Being the author of an affidavit back in the day, I can attest that it took 732 pages and a year and a half to get there. In this day and age we need to move more quickly. It is our government's position that our laws need to be modernized to allow for more effective and efficient responses to crime.
Can you comment on the need to update the Criminal Code, and how does an outdated Criminal Code affect the day-to-day work of police officers?
Chief Chu, you first please, and then Assistant Commissioner Oliver.
