Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to start with ICBC.
It's great to see some fellow British Columbians join us at committee and provide our west coast perspective on this issue.
I just want to talk a little bit about the bait car program, because that did have remarkable success when it was first introduced. I can remember at the time it seemed like the B.C. government was actively trolling car thieves, daring them to go and steal a car, knowing that a bait car was out there tempting them to be caught.
We know from the Vancouver Police Service press releases at the time that the program had remarkable success in driving down rates of auto theft.
Can you just tell us, have those rates remained fairly consistent? Is the bait car program still owning a little bit of responsibility for keeping those rates low, or is it a broader question with a lot of different things at play here? Could you just add a little bit more to that, please?
