Thank you, Mr. Chair.
To our witnesses, thank you again.
One of the great prides we've always had in Canada has been our capacity for judicial discretion, whether it's to the crown or to the judiciary itself. We've had various witnesses before this committee who have suggested, in particular with the dangerous offender legislation, that this would remove the opportunity for due discretion capacity by either crown or judiciary, both prior to the actual designation and in the sentencing process. I'd like your opinion on that.
In addition, could you walk us through this process again, so that we can clearly understand the allowances and provisions that are there for judicial discretion?
