Thank you.
I'm going to take an angle from my colleague Ms. Damoff. I know the position you're in in law enforcement, but I really have to tell you that from experience—and I'm sure Jim can attest to this—if we were in your position, we would say things like, “We wish government would have thought of this” or “We wish this legislation would have considered this”, because you're playing it out in the field. I don't want to put you in a bad spot, but I'm going to ask it differently.
This study is about protecting Canadians. This study is about ensuring that we have legislation in place that allows law enforcement to do law enforcement functions in a manner that will protect Canadians better, that will allow FINTRAC and every other agency that does this to do it better. You don't have to tell us specifically, but in the roles that you gentlemen play now, just give us a general theme as to what gaps you see that we as a committee can start looking at specifically to address those gaps to ensure that everything.... This is all about public safety. This is the public safety committee. Your role is public safety.
No offence, but sometimes it's easy to hide behind “Well, I can't say that”, but I actually think you can say that. From my experience, yes, you can say, “Here are the gaps that I see that law enforcement, that government, that whoever, can look at specifically.” I would offer you the courage to go ahead and do that.
