Obviously the judicial discretion will be now exercised by crown attorneys, and the process for appointing both of these.... We in the AQAAD believe that crown attorneys should have some discretion, but I don't believe the judicial discretion should be put into the hands of the prosecutors.
I really like the argument put forward by the Canadian Bar Association, which is that we're not going to be plea bargaining, we're going to be charge bargaining, if we want to maintain the objectives of the Criminal Code, which is the individualization of the sentence. So I find that very disturbing.
