Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Thank you to Mr. Piragoff and Ms. MacLean for providing testimony this morning to our committee.

I am intrigued with several of the statistics you have highlighted to the committee, so I do have a couple of questions that I'd like to ask, and some observations.

You can correct me if I'm wrong, but one of the statements your report made is that there are decreasing crime rates. Is it fair to assume that the legislation on the books, which the previous government was very instrumental in introducing, has contributed to lowering crime rates? Is that a fair assessment?
