That's a genuine issue. Obviously we would hope that decisions would be made based on the right, like the seriousness of the offence and so on, but what we have seen--and the reason we're stating these facts up until now--is that the discretion that does exist in terms of sentencing is a result of the principles, and the sentences that have come out, compared to what we had thought at the outset of this in 1996, are certainly not the same. We have talked about our concerns--the denunciation, the deterrence, and the separation of offenders from society when necessary. We're looking at those and we're looking at some of these more serious offences getting conditional sentences. That is our concern.
