Thank you very much, Chair.
I appreciate the witnesses for being here today. Thank you for being part of finding a solution.
As we've heard in your testimony today and in reading about what's going on, solving this problem involves all of industry and all of society. It involves prevention. It involves consumer awareness, justice system changes, police and CBSA involvement, technology and insurance. There are many facets to fixing this, including government policy.
I was interested in your last comments, Mr. Adams. You said you were concerned about government policies that may actually hinder the work being done to prevent car thefts. I know you talked about some of the technology side of it, but does it also include the potential of the current government's softer-on-crime approach? Does that have any impact on the current reality of this situation?
All three of you can weigh in on that.
The Toronto Police Service told us on Monday that 50% of the thieves they catch are repeat offenders, so I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on this.
