With the advent of Bill C-18, 1,500 additional cases are predicted, which is an increase of about one-third of our caseload. We are just not able to utilize new technology or changes in the way we do the work to keep up with the ever-increasing demand for this work. The police want us to do more cases faster. We survey our police contributors every year, and that has been a consistent message since the use of DNA came into the courts. They want more and they want it faster.
