I was just going to echo what my colleague said. We have all said the same thing. It is about data collection, information sharing and also modernizing existing systems so information can flow from police services to Crowns and from Crowns from province to province, so it's the same information that flows consistently. We don't have that right now.
We don't have effective means of communication between police services who are dealing with these violent repeat offenders every day. We don't have an effective information-sharing system between the police and the Crowns or from province to province, as my colleague has mentioned already. We're not sharing that information if offenders move, sometimes even within the same province, but if they move from province to province, there is no package of information that goes with that offender when the file comes to a Crown prosecutor, so that they are aware of it and can properly prepare for a bail hearing, for example, and it's certainly not before a justice of the peace or a judge who might be adjudicating the bail hearing. That has to happen.
Modernization is a big part of it. I think this is some of the important work that your committee can do around those issues, where it gets back to that leadership piece that's already been mentioned. I think there's a legitimate role for the federal government with respect to that.
