Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank Chief Davis and the National Police Federation for bringing the resource question to the table. It's simply not enough to pass law. We have to make sure programs are properly resourced.
I want to start with a question for Mr. Rowe from the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. It's about the idea of a safety valve for mandatory minimums—something I personally favour. It's difficult for me to see how that could be added into Bill C-5.
Have you had any discussions, either among yourselves or with the government, about how we might get such a safety valve into Bill C-5? It would deal with overall judicial discretion, and the bill's a bit narrower than that.
