Thank you, colleagues.
It's in relation to paragraph 37.
I'll be very quick. It's one o'clock in the morning. We're all tired. It's been a long day. I'm very pleased with the level of collaboration that has taken us this far.
On Mr. Baber's commentary about contempt of court, of all the serious criminal activity happening in this country, with all of the headlines formulating in this country, particularly extortion, use of firearms, drug offences and the fentanyl opiate crisis, please provide some context as to why on earth you chose an obscure criminal offence that I have never prosecuted in 20 years nor defended in 12 years.
I've repeatedly asked police officers with upwards of four decades of service whether they've investigated a contempt of court charge. Under what circumstances, in the context of reforming bail and sentencing, did your department choose contempt of court?
