Well, if I understand your question correctly, if a crown has to provide, say, an extra five or ten minutes to prove the onus on an accused, I look at it from this perspective: if I'm taking five or ten extra minutes to provide all the information that is available to a justice of the peace or to a judge, I'd rather take five or ten extra minutes to provide all the information that I have available than take an opportunity that something may, I'll say “slide” for lack of a better term, and then somebody, unfortunately, gets out and creates havoc, or an issue like we presently see before us. That's my understanding and take from that. To me, it may be 15 or 20 minutes, but the bottom line is that all the information is being provided, and what's important is making sure all the information is out there.
