Ms. Pate, I think I'm going to the paper maybe more than to some of the comments you made, although I think you made reference to it. I want to challenge you a bit on this.
I think in the last Parliament...I can't remember if it was your organization or one of the other ones that came forward, but it was indicated that there was a retreat from the use of mandatory minimums in other jurisdictions. Because Michigan is right beside us, I looked at Michigan. They in fact have backed off the use of mandatory minimums. But my research led me to the conclusion that they did that only with regard to drug crimes; they did not do it with regard to violent crimes. I'm wondering if that's the same pattern we're seeing in Australia and in some of the other states in the United States, or are they also backing off the use of mandatory minimums in violent crimes?
