Thank you, Chair, and thank you to the witnesses.
Actually, the last question was a little bit nonsensical, because taser use is not allowed in Canada to civilians; it's only used by police officers. So children here will not get it, and if you wanted to have that debate, you'd have to take it to the U.S.
I really appreciate the vast differences here. One is from a practical side and the other is a little bit from theory. I can tell you what used to happen before we had pepper spray and before we had tasers, and how we used to subdue people. I don't think the vast majority of Canadians would object to the difference in the new tools the police officers have in their toolboxes. In the past, it used to be simply force.
Dr. Hall, you've probably seen in emergency wards in the last 10 years, when we talk about the change.... Could you tell us whether, in the last 10 years, you have seen a change in emergency medicine, with patients coming in who have either been attacked more violently or who are more violent? Is that, in fact, the case?
