There is no doubt that the bait car program is still a successful program. There are also many other aspects in terms of IMPACT, the team and how they are integrated, and different police units and police departments that are all involved in the proactive tackling of auto crime. I think the important thing here is to remember that the IMPACT program is an enhanced program in terms of fighting auto theft. We're not just relying on baseline enforcement against auto crime through the various police departments, but it's actually this concerted data-driven program across the province of B.C. Of course, bait car is part of that program, so yes, bait car is very successful. We've seen a lot of auto crime go down due to that, but there are always new tactics being employed by thieves and there's new technology in vehicles as well. It continues to have success, but in the space of the larger program, IMPACT, I think it's important to remember the integrated approach across B.C. has led to much success in this space.
