Bill C-35 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee Yes, the difference between the two figures is the ones that are not cleared by charge at all, which are not solved, and also the ones that are cleared by police other than by a charge, so say through informal process diversion or some other reason like that.

Bill C-35 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee The police statistics don't include those, as we don't have information from the military police.

John Turner
Bill C-35 (39th Parliament, 1st Session) committee I don't have the numbers here, but I'm pretty sure most of them are knives or other cutting-type weapons. We have about four or five different breakdowns. I could get you that if that is important.
