Thank you.
Can you also speak to those seven criteria? My understanding is that in the act as it exists—not in this legislation, but in the act—seven criteria are laid out, one of them being cost.
I think there has been some confusion. The RCMP website refers to some times when municipalities or provinces end up not carrying through because of costs. There seems to be a misunderstanding that this is because there is not enough money, so that they can't protect people. It seems to me that it's more within the criteria, looking at the cost versus whether there is actually going to be a benefit and whether it will enable protecting the individuals.
Can you speak to the criteria and very specifically to the costs? It's really important. We have the support of the opposition; cost is the only thing they are talking about. I think we need to be really clear on where the costs are incurred and whether there are any deficiencies.
