No, because witness protection is a very expensive proposition. Police forces across the country, including the RCMP, don't typically bring people into witness protection situations as a matter of course. I'll allow Staff Sergeant Townsend to comment on that. There has to be a significant reason, a legitimate threat to that person's safety, to the safety of other people involved in an investigation, particularly around organized crime.
Nothing in this legislation really changes that dynamic. It's an expensive proposition, and funding is always a challenge.
Any time we can amend legislation to make it more reflective of the kind of society we're working in so that the legislation recognizes the technology that exists today versus 10, 20, or 30 years ago, that's a good thing. I've already alluded to some of the provisions in this legislation that will help streamline things and arguably allow police agencies to become more efficient and maybe therefore reduce costs in other ways, albeit not specifically around the cost of the witness protection program.
