Recognizance opportunities that are included in Bill C-51 on an offence that likely may occur, as I mentioned, it allows us to.... The guiding principle of law enforcement is to preserve life. I talked about the nature of the threat now and the velocity of information required in regard to determining a solution by law enforcement is a matter of days sometimes. The ability to ensure that we have been able to establish the security level for the public, and also able to determine the veracity of that threat, is difficult to do in regard to collecting source information, confirming source information, and dealing with foreign entities. The whole aspect of being able to ensure that we preserve life by using the recognizance provisions that are in Bill C-51, in order to determine the veracity of that threat and to continue the investigation for completion, is important. It must say that the recognizance provisions that are within the new legislation are similar to the legislation that's existing in the fact that we have to provide and bring the individual before a justice. There are provisions built in there where the conditions must be fulfilled by the crown in order for a justice to order continued detention. It's the same process that we have right now in the 810 recogs for other crimes that we also use it for.
