I want to thank everyone for coming.
In particular, I want to acknowledge Professor Solomon. Your decades of research in this area and the contribution you've made is enormous. Thank you.
In your material, at page 3 of your brief, you talk about the concerns the Civil Liberties Association and the Criminal Lawyers' Association have about police discrimination and the targeting of visible minorities. You say their concerns are exactly the opposite to what is true. Yet you speak, I think, about sobriety checkpoints and you say the enactment of MAS would reduce the ability of the police to target minorities or otherwise misuse their authority, and you went on to say, because best practices require that all passing vehicles are stopped, and so on.
I don't understand that. I understand, as my friend Mr. Fraser said, that there's a difference between sobriety checkpoints on the one hand, where everybody is stopped, and the ability that this now gives the police to target minorities if they wish on a random basis. It's random Breathalyzer testing, random alcohol testing. I'm having a great difficulty understanding how you can discard the concerns that the Civil Liberties Association and the defence lawyers have provided.
