With regard to the great percentages, I take the point with respect to downloading onto the provincial courts. That is a concern. However, this bill as a whole deals with many aspects that will help alleviate the overburdening of the provincial courts. For example, the administration of justice offences, which we'll be getting to later in the bill, will have a dramatic impact on reducing the number of offences that we know are one of the main causes of the overburdening of the provincial courts.
This bill as a whole has to be looked at in terms of how it alleviates the issues of the overburdening of provincial courts. Adding Crown flexibility will add another tool in the tool kit of the administration of justice in order to ensure that the procedures followed will result in efficiency, but also justice.
For those reasons, I can't agree with my friend on those points.
