I would harken back to the minister's remarks, which acknowledge that there will be a different impact of restricting preliminary inquiries. It will have different impacts in different parts of the country. That's part of the harmony of the federal and provincial criminal justice system. Federal law sets a framework; provinces then have flexibility within that framework to adopt practices and approaches that will more specifically meet their needs.
I recognize that there are witnesses who do take issue with whether preliminary inquiries in and of themselves will achieve significant savings in time. To the extent that there are fewer preliminary inquiries, particularly in those provinces that happen to hold more, that will have an impact. It will free up time in provincial courts.
