Okay.
We would suggest that the discretion be left with the judges; that we have faith in the appeal process; that we not overburden the crowns; that we take the money that would be used to build prisons and to provide for extra legal aid for incarcerated persons and use that money in order to help the provinces develop the programs that will help these people not find themselves back in the prison system. Help the provinces use the funds instead of forcing them to use them to deal with the destruction of families, with welfare cycles, and with disproportionate numbers of young men in repeat offence positions. Those funds can be better used than in creating prisons as a result of an overly broad legislative amendment.
