What I'm looking at is not that it may not happen, and many times we may not need to use the minimums. A judge is going to have cases go in different directions, there may be findings of guilty or not guilty. What I'm concerned about is knowing your position on the limiting of judicial discretion.
I keep hearing this term referenced, and I'll give you an example of Paul Bernardo. Maybe the judge in that case would have wanted to give beyond the maximum. There are cases where maximums are used. By having maximums in the code, we're limiting judicial discretion.
What I want to know is, are you in favour of limiting judicial discretion in that case, or is it only selective?
