I'm not sure I understand the total distinction, but I think the only comment I was trying to make in the opening remarks was on the differences between the federal and provincial programs.
The more serious cases tend to be those that are much longer in terms of the need to protect the witness, first of all, so that's one distinguishing factor; a provincial program may only temporarily need protection for a provincial protectee. Legislatively, the national cases fall under the jurisdiction of the Witness Protection Program Act of 1996.
Those were the only observations I was making with respect to those statements.
