But the subsequent offences issue is going to be the biggest deterrent. Let us not kid ourselves.
Do you think that the penalities set in the bill for subsequent offences are enough to get the desired results? According to the RCMP report, it takes forever for the offences to get onto a person's criminal record. We found that out this year. It is all well and good to make provisions for subsequent offences, but if the offences do not appear on criminal records, it is not really very useful.
