Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As we all know, not all charges that are laid and not all prosecutions are successful. I can't comment on the individual case that Mr. Steen is alluding to. You never know what the outcome of a court decision will be and that is why we have it so that the impartiality of the circumstances that are presented by the prosecution and the defence are laid out and the jury or judge makes their decision based on those facts. There are some discretionary decisions. The RCMP can lay charges,
but if the Crown prosecutors feel the charge may not stick or the probability of being successful might not be that great, then they can decide to drop the case. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
