In Ontario, if the use of any force results in a serious injury, an independent civilian agency conducts the investigation. That's the special investigations unit—you may have heard of that—and it will conduct a reasonably comprehensive investigation that would include speaking to a number of bystanders. If the circumstances are that the taser, in this case, was deployed and the injuries were no more than what we anticipated--a puncture of the probes or a mark because of the dry stun--a police officer has to report, on a proper form, the use of force. It's unlikely we would launch into as big an investigation as there might be if there were serious injury. However, obviously the input of the person who was the subject is captured. We have that information.
