Thank you very much, Chair, and thank you to our witnesses for being here today.
I'm going to start with you, Chief Superintendent Morris. I appreciate your candour and the information you shared with us today. There's probably a lot more that you can share and hopefully I and all questioners will give you that opportunity to share it today.
Coming from a law enforcement background, I can tell you that there are significant gaps in the enforcement tools that police have to go through in order to make things legal from an investigative perspective. Moreover, there's a balance between, as you described it, the legislative environment that needs improvement—it's slow, clumsy and not as flexible as it should be—and between law enforcement and prosecution requirements to get successful prosecutions of organized crime, and the need of Canadians for their privacy. For those who may not understand how things work, there have certainly been some significant concerns about that.
I guess my overall question is about how our current laws obviously fall short in assisting law enforcement in multiple investigations—organized crime-related, money laundering, drugs, weapons, whatever it be, and those trafficking, as well as some of our sexual exploitation investigations.
What things, in your perspective, should be considered in this legislation that aren't here now and that we should add to it?
