I want to make sure I understand your objectives. If you do not want to give in to your legal drafting impulses, that is okay; there are others who can that.
If I understand correctly, you suggest that we amend section 718 so that when a judge has to determine what the sentence should be, like a conditional sentence, he will be able to propose other sentences. You want judges to be guided by criteria spelled out in section 718.
Is that what you are suggesting? That is the section of the Criminal Code that deals with sentencing. I imagine that is something you already look at in one of your courses. Is that what we are talking about?
