The designation by the court that occurs now, under this proposed reform, lasts for the life of the offender. So the offender has in fact been found to be a dangerous offender. If the offender breaches a condition and is convicted of the breach of a long-term offender supervision order, then he is liable for this subsequent hearing. If the offender serves out his sentence and his LTSO, beyond the life of that, and commits another serious personal injury offence and is convicted, then he is also liable for the abbreviated hearing, where the crown will not again have to prove the section 753.1 dangerous offender criteria.
