Thank you.
For the most part, our cases to date have been in the Lower Mainland, which came as somewhat of a surprise to us. To go to northern B.C.—somewhere like Fort St. John, in the Peace-Liard area—there are increased travel costs.
We also perhaps look to the local police service to hold the scene for as long as it takes for us to get there. If the weather, potentially, is a problem, we'll look to the local police service to gather the evidence and hold it until we get there.
These are all costs that you would not necessarily incur if there were an officer-involved shooting in Surrey, to which you could get out very quickly. You could customize your investigative response and you would be able to obtain the evidence very quickly and interview witnesses quickly.
We expect that there will be cases of, say, a motor vehicle or a use-of-force incident in Dease Lake or in Kwadacha, a northern B.C. first nations community, that could cost more than what is typically viewed as a more serious case of a shooting three blocks from where our office is.
