Okay.

With the time I have remaining, I'd like to focus on the criminal penalties under Bill C-36.

As you know, Bill C-36 criminalized certain types of behaviours, which resulted in mandatory minimums, dealing with adults, of anywhere from four to five years, depending on the circumstances.

Do you feel that the changes in the legislation under the Criminal Code have had a required deterrent impact as a result of that legislation change?
