I was under the impression that the U.S. or the U.K. uses a one-year threshold. We would be going to six months. Again, I'm not claiming to be the world's expert on this. We just think it's a question of proportionality.
On this issue of whether judges are prepared to look at immigration considerations, it seems to me I've read contrary jurisprudence on this. If the committee is going to base its conclusions on the idea that judges across Canada are going to fully weigh humanitarian immigration considerations before rendering a sentence, I think you had better get very solid information on that before you go forward.
