I see.
In essence, if we want the bill to be adopted, we must be convinced that the court did not properly use this tool, that is the conditional sentence of imprisonment. That's what I'm interested in finding out.
One of the many sentencing options available to judges is the conditional sentence. However, this type of sentence should not be imposed for certain types of offences. For example, it should not be ordered for offences of a sexual or violent nature, or for serious sexual offences.
Can you tell me how often, out of a total of 13,277 cases involving sexual offences, judges ordered a conditional sentence? In fact, slide 8 provides a compelling reason not to vote for this bill, because in my view, this sentencing option has been properly used. This sentence has been imposed in cases of drug trafficking, fraud and theft, but not for sexual offences.
