There are a few things, and I'll be quick here.
Minimum sentences are not something that our courts like, for one thing, so it is important that we have a punishment option. Imposing minimum sentences or requiring minimum sentences has not held up very well in our courts with the charter.
In terms of catch and release, I 100% agree. I think that that's what upsets the public so much: to see people with dozens and dozens of convictions being released. They need other services—I get it. They need treatment. They need a whole lot of services, but what the public does not need is them right back on the streets breaking more windows, creating havoc, walking around with knives, etc. It's very important, I think.
When it comes to the importers, yes, there are people importing drugs. They tend to be low-echelon players. They are the couriers. They are the dupes. They are people who are doing something for a few thousand dollars. Yes, there has to be some sort of a sanction, but it's really getting to the top of organized crime that's important. Bringing down the kingpins is what you want to do.
