Thank you very much for being here. I appreciate your testimony.
Mr. Doroshenko, on the last point in my friend's questioning regarding the limitation period, you said that you see increasing the limitation period from six months to one year for summary conviction offences as a way around Jordan and that it doesn't help at all in the delay. I'd like to put it to you, though, that oftentimes in the criminal justice system we see that the Crown is out of time to proceed by summary conviction and therefore has to proceed by indictment. The more proper venue is most likely a summary conviction procedure; however, they don't have that option because of the limitation period.
Wouldn't you agree that extending the limitation period to one year offers the Crown more opportunity to proceed in the more correct procedure by summary conviction, rather than having to go by indictment just because of the limitation period, and that by proceeding summarily they actually do save court time?
