I think you've covered a fair amount of ground, Mr. Lee. You indicated that it's possible, and there are many cases in which people who are charged with serious firearms offences are already detained. As you indicated in your comments, this certainly gives the tools and the direction, and it sends a message out with respect to bail. And there can and there undoubtedly will be more individuals who will not make bail when we bring in changes.
You've pointed out the credit system that applies in this country or in our criminal justice system with respect to individuals who serve time prior to their conviction. I would say to you that ultimately there is great discretion by judges with respect to the maximum sentence of individuals. At the sentencing portion of that, judges can and should make sentences--and I'm sure they will--that are commensurate with the crime that's before them.
So I don't share your concern that there is going to be some sort of a large impact or that these individuals are going to be soon set free. My guess is that somebody who gets convicted of using a firearm in attempted murder is not somebody who is going to be released in any hurry even if he or she gets credit for some of the time served prior to the trial.
I don't see this as a major problem, but I'm certainly always interested in hearing your comments and your take on these things.
