When Monsieur Patry raised the issue around the fact that it could actually include people who are in prison or jail for unpaid fines, you indicated that wouldn't be the case. Actually, there are a number of cases in Regina. In one of them, a woman was jailed for unpaid parking tickets. This was a 31-year-old mother of four. When she was jailed for the parking ticket, she was employed. At that time her husband had to give up his job to help care for the children while she was in jail.
Apparently there have been other instances in Regina where people were jailed for unpaid parking fines. I would hardly think.... And she was a student when she accumulated those parking fines. Sometimes students are in situations where parking fines may not be their highest priority when they're attempting to pay their tuition and living expenses.
I guess the reason I'm raising that, Mr. Harris, is that I think there needs to be some caution around branding everybody who ends up in this kind of a position as somehow being a complete criminal. This young woman acknowledges that she owed those parking fines and that she was remiss in not paying them. She had been attempting to pay them down, but they were still outstanding and she was thrown in jail.
I just wonder if you'd like to comment on those kinds of situations.
