Public Safety committee  Thank you. I would like to thank Mr. Newark, Mr. Becotte, and Mr. Cornea for their presentations today. I'd like to thank our two gentlemen from Saskatchewan for their volunteer service in helping their communities. I would like to read an email that I got from one of my constituents yesterday.

Public Safety committee  Thanks, Nick. I'm going to swing over to Mr. Newark now. I know you want to answer it, but just give me a second; I'm going to add a question to you on that. As a Crown prosecutor for many years, thank you for your service to the Province of Alberta. You and I saw many times when we went in to court on cases of self-defence—trying to protect yourself—under sections 34, 35, 36, 37 of the Criminal Code.

Public Safety committee  I'd rather do 10.

Public Safety committee  What type of method did they use that you found to be the most common?

Public Safety committee  It's the use of defence and stuff like that for property or personal. Do you think we need to clarify it and upgrade it from its current status under the Criminal Code?

Public Safety committee  Thank you.

Public Safety committee  Mr. Larsen, you heard the evidence by Mr. Friedman about the changing of the Criminal Code. As a former police officer and in the role you are in now, do you see a need for us to revamp that?

Public Safety committee  I have a question for you, Mr. Drummond. As a coroner and a rural doctor, you spoke about suicides.

Public Safety committee  You spoke about the long gun being used.

Public Safety committee  In your experience, what was the most common element that you found in suicides?

Public Safety committee  Yes.

Public Safety committee  Thank you.

Public Safety committee  I thought you wouldn't.

Public Safety committee  Thank you. Do I have five minutes?

Public Safety committee  I'll start with Mr. Friedman. I want to continue on where you were with my friend here. We were talking about police and making that decision to lay a charge in a self-defence situation. You mentioned police specifically. I want to defend them a little bit. Do you find also that Crown counsels need to be better educated in the rules?
