 Bill C-95 was passed in 1997 and the journalists Timothy Appleby and Tu Thanh Ha of "The Globe and Mail" observed in 2000 that no-one had been convicted under Bill C-95 offenses.Reflecting the way that the Angels were winning the war, in October 1995, Harold Pelletier, one of the heads of the Pelletier Clan, turned himself in to the "Sûreté du Québec", confessing that on the night of 7 August 1983, he murdered a drug dealer named Michel Beaulieu who was behind in his payments to the Pelletier Clan, and asked that the police provide him with protection from the Angels in exchange for more information about his crimes.Ultimately, Pelletier confessed to committing 17 murders between 1983-1995, yet he was only convicted of the murder of Beaulieu.
