I am absolutely convinced of the need for the type of program you administer. In Quebec there have been situations where it has been necessary to use this type of program to infiltrate criminal organizations, trap criminals and convict them.
These procedures are however very costly, and we know why. This is an area the private sector will never be involved in and, unlike the private sector, we will never be able to accurately measure the success of our operations.
I wondered whether over the years you had found a way to assess the success of using these witnesses, after the fact, to determine other options for the future. It is very difficult to determine whether we have made the right decision when we embark on this very costly process. You must have some ideas on that. For my part, I must admit that I don't have many.
