Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all of the witnesses.
Deputy Chief Milinovich, I took heed of what you said. My colleague Ms. Acan asked you a question and you said that it was going to take a lot longer than six minutes, and I understand why. This isn't easy stuff.
This is complex stuff: how metadata leads to an offender, how a production order is authorized.... I mean, we haven't even gotten into that. I don't think that even once we've talked about the test for getting a production order. I think Mr. Van Laer did very briefly last time, but we haven't even talked about that here. That's part of the point I've been making. I know that my Liberal colleagues may think I'm a broken record, but the reality is that this is not easy stuff. This is where we have had lawyers come in here and disagree: knowledgeable lawyers, people who have practised law for a great deal of time.
I would love to hear more from you. I know that extortion is a huge issue in your area. You and I spoke—I believe it was just last month—and I really appreciate your passion for trying to bring safe streets to the Peel region. I echo that.
The thing that stands out for me—and this goes for all of our witnesses here—is that we all want safe streets. We all want to put bad people in jail. We all want people who hurt kids to go to jail and—I can say on this end—for a very long time. I would hope that my Liberal colleagues would join that, yet here we are, on the precipice of having to deal with a bill that has huge ramifications and huge implications.
I'm going to ask you just one brief question, Mr. Rankin. Was there one recommendation that you really hoped would have made it in here and didn't?
