Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all the witnesses for being here today.
I do have one question, I think for Mr. Sauvé, who represents 20,000 police across Canada, many in rural and really remote areas, which are, in some cases, are understaffed.
One of the clauses in the expansion of conditional sentences is that someone could get a conditional sentence order if they assaulted a police officer and caused bodily harm or used a weapon. I'm just wondering how it would resonate throughout the Royal Canadian Mounted Police across Canada if in fact Bill C-5 approved that.
