Thank you all for being here today.
The best part of being an MP is that we meet people who know so much more about something than we do, and you have all contributed.
Mr. Newman, I want to thank you for your comments on science. I have been trying to get it out forever in my life that science is more of an art than people think. That was very important.
I want to return to the resources question. Correct me if I'm wrong, but given the current legislative framework, I'm hearing that we are already maxed out in the resources we have to do what has to be done, given the current list of designated offences. If we increase the number of designated offences or take away judicial discretion, we will overburden the system. That's in my head.
Following on Mr. Newman's last comments, there are different standards and technologies around the world, and as technology changes it doesn't necessarily reduce the cost. In fact, it could increase the cost of doing your work, so you either need more resources to do your work or you have to find a different way of doing it.
I'm wondering whether you think we should be doing more work, or doing what we do now, only better. Are there ways we can do this work with the same resources or simply more resources?
