Mr. Saint-Denis, the effect of this would be to take out the consent of the prosecutor as being necessary for a drug treatment court program approved by the Attorney General and other conditions that are set out there. But proposed paragraph 10(4)(b) says that an offender could attend a treatment program under subsection 720(2) of the Criminal Code.
An important thing for us, I think, is that this is a very interesting interregnum: you're convicted, and you have the choice to better yourself, such as get treatment at the drug treatment court or deal with that, as opposed to being given the mandatory minimum.
So does Mr. Ménard's amendment make access to the DTC easier or more difficult?
