Right now, under the current dangerous offender system, the crown is not obliged to make an application for assessment and remand on first conviction, second, third, tenth conviction, twenty-fifth conviction. Under the proposed amendments from this Conservative government that we find in Bill C-2, has that changed? Is the crown obliged...? Is an application for remand and assessment for a dangerous offender designation mandatory at any number of convictions of violent or serious crimes that are designated?
