Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to both of you for being present this morning. Out of respect for other committee members, Mr. Dandurand, I won't ask you about your recent experience with gardening and cherry blossoms and other things that British Columbians are thinking about this morning.
I would like to go back to something you made a part of your presentation in 2008 and emphasized again today. I find it very interesting when you say that the criteria don't really focus on the right to be protected. Often it's the most serious crimes, rather than the most serious threats, that seem to be the criteria for determining who receives protection.
I know you've studied witness protection around the world. Can you tell us whether there's any difference from the criteria you've seen in other places?
