He has been convicted 43 times. He's had 143 charges against him. These are all publicly available documents. The newspaper has repeatedly reported on this individual, the crime waves that ensue when this individual is back on the streets, back out on bail, and the frustration that the RCMP feel when they basically catch these guys red-handed, in the possession of stolen vehicles, stolen batteries, stolen copper and stolen fuel. They say it's just very difficult to prove a lot of this stuff. Fuel doesn't come with a great identifier. Gasoline looks like gasoline looks like gasoline, regardless of where you got it. They say that they know it is stolen, but it is difficult to prove.
Now, I'm hearing from across the way that they say, well, there's a burden of proof and things like that.
