Thank you, Chief. We have to move on, because my time is limited.
Bill C-5 removes limitations placed on the use of conditional sentences of imprisonment. Offences such as sexual assault, arson, criminal harassment, kidnapping, trafficking of persons, abduction of persons under 14 and prison breach are now open for consideration.
Can you comment on how this will impact community safety in the context of the offences I just read out? I would also like to hear your opinion on the deterrent impact of conditional sentences and the reality on the street when it comes to the compliance and enforcement of those orders.
