As a defence lawyer, I am a bit worried by what Mr. Comartin just said, and I would like some reassurance from Mr. Daubney.
Mr. Norlock just gave us a theoretical example of a case. Pursuant to clause 3 of the bill, which replaces subsection 719(3), the judge could decide that an individual should receive a sentence of two years' imprisonment for the crime committed, but since that person is in pre-sentencing custody, the judge just sends him on his way. That happened in a mob boss case. I will not name names, but the person was in custody, and the judge said that if it were strictly up to him, he would give the individual a three-year sentence, but since the person had been in pre-sentencing custody for three years, the judge sent him on his way. It happens.
