First, thank you, Mr. Brock, for your comments. As someone who has done bail, I can tell you that every case, as you know, is very different. There are so many different factors dependent on the strength of the case and the personality of the individuals in the court. Of course, the judge ultimately gets to make the final decision.
Here's the thing: When the federal government passes new laws or makes new offences, they are creating more work for frontline people. If you're not prepared to make the investments on the front lines, to drill down, to figure out how is this going to impact the prosecutors in the courtroom.... Are they able to take on more cases? Do the police officers have the resources to investigate more offences? Then, for prosecutors to carry those through to court and prosecute them, if we don't have that investment, there's very little that may change. We can't urge you more than.... We need the federal government to step up and support frontline positions, whether that means sending money to the provinces or ensuring that the provinces have the people to carry out and enforce these laws. When there are changes to the law that are going to spark a lot of litigation, as you're probably aware, we should expect that defence counsel may constitutionally challenge some of these changes.
