It is very important to have at the very least a summary table of all this information. I don’t really think that anyone is interested in reading 3,000 or 4,000 pages. A summary table would be greatly appreciated. The fact remains that we are all Parliamentarians, and that we will be enacting a bill that will create new law.
Earlier, Mr. Cannavino indicated that the bill applied to people who had committed three serious offences. That is not quite accurate, since the bill also applies to designated offences, of which some may be less serious than others. While they all raise social concerns, it may be somewhat ingenuous to reduce everything down to three serious offences.
For an expert witness, for whom the rules of appearance based on jurisprudence are already known, and which I will not get into here, would it be possible, from a first offence, to inform a jury or a court that there are probative, plausible and scientifically recognized risks that the individual will re-offend? As an expert witness, can you share this information with a court to avoid any subsequent pain to the community?
