Okay. First, I apologize for not being able to speak French.
What I would say is that what you said is bang on. It's about balance. In my role as president of CACP I gave evidence in support of Bill C-10. I said that we're not going to arrest our way out of our troubles, but we're not going to stop arresting. We can't enter a political debate that does one or the other: we have to do it all at the same time. That's integrity. That's obviously risk. We have to make sure that we're on top of that.
But to free up those resources and do that effectively, let's just look at the call volume of a police service that we studied. Of the calls, 25% were criminal in nature and 5% of those led to criminal charges, which left 75% of all the calls for services being about what we call anti-social behaviour, which if left unchecked we know becomes crime. The reality is that it can't be one or the other, but has to be balanced. We have to effectively work in all those areas at the same time, taking the low-hanging fruit out the system and doing a great job at the back end making sure that we're protecting the integrity and those interests in our country and our provinces that obviously pose major risks to our everyday lives.
Quite frankly, it's not one or the other. We need to do it all. The only way we can do it is to free up this end by taking stuff out of the system, allowing us to do more on this end and to use a cost-effective method to do it more efficiently.
