I would say it is not. Usually sentences, as has been indicated, increase from one time to another. We do have the provision to declare that person dangerous, but again, just to say that because it's a third conviction....There are different degrees of dangerousness, and the prosecutor can assess that on a particular case. If they determine this is a case for a dangerous offender application after the two, it can be their onus to show why there should be a dangerous offender application, the way we have it now.
The difficulty is that we have robbery, and there are different levels of that. We have different levels of assault. We have different levels of dangerousness and how incorrigible certain offenders may be. The other difficulty is they may have committed two offences when they were 20, one when they were 23, and now they are 35, and the next thing you know, they have had so many years when they have rehabilitated, but according to this they are deemed dangerous. That would be one where a prosecutor might use discretion otherwise.
