MP Caputo, I know that if anyone understands, it's you, as you have been a prosecutor. It is important to get this right. I also think we can't waste time diving into things that are really not important or not overly relevant, like debating timelines of three months, six months, nine months or 12 months. We have to start somewhere.
I can tell you that as a young detective constable in 1996, in a group that was working under Criminal Intelligence Service Ontario, I brought this matter forward to say that we were being hindered by the advancement of technology and outdated legislation. Thirty years later, we've seen no substantive change. The first of many resolutions from the CACP was issued and shared with the federal government in 2002. There has been no substantive change.
I guess my question would be, how long does it take to get it right and how many more victims are harmed in the process?
