I thank the Chairman and our witnesses this morning, and Commissioner Logan also. There are many moving parts in some of the scrutiny of this and it can be difficult to understand the pathway that we are following here. I want to ask a little bit more about GSOC’s perspective on the proposed legislation but before I do I want to understand the numbers a little bit more in 2019, 2020, and 2021. We saw a large increase in the number of queries handled but I am trying to understand this from the numbers provided to us. The way that the information was delivered to us were those complaints that were determined to be admissible or inadmissible and criminal investigations opened. It is hard for me, however, to glean from that 2021 number of 4,615 how many of those have led to a complaint being upheld and actioned or a prosecution. Is that data available?
