Sergeant Groulx, you said this device is not supposed to be an alternative to deadly force.
I don't always want to talk about myself, but I was the Attorney General in B.C. when this device was first introduced in Victoria through a pilot project. I was given the impression that it would be used sparingly, as a second-last resort; that if under normal circumstances you would draw a gun to deal with a serious issue, this would take its place some of the time--of course, not in all cases.
On the way you've approached the issue, it seems to me that your remarks indicate there has been the usage creep that some of us believe has taken place with this device. Am I totally wrong or partly right?
