We always give parameters, whether they be minimum or maximum sentences, and you'll see provisions here, within this piece of legislation, where we indicate that there be a maximum sentence of ten years or five years, or, as you indicated, there are hybrid offences, so they could be punishable on summary conviction. Again, it's our constitutional responsibility to give those guidelines.
I told you the example of a bill I was working on in the early 1990s. One of my colleagues came to me and asked why I was putting a five-year maximum on that particular offence and why didn't I make it ten years and let the judges decide. We think five years is an appropriate maximum. We give those guidelines to the judges. We want to make sure it fits in line with other provisions of the Criminal Code. We don't want it to get out of whack in terms of other provisions, so, yes, we do provide those maximum guidelines. Certainly I don't apologize for that. Those are a responsibility. On occasion we give minimum sentence guidance to the courts. We take each one on a case-by-case basis and come up with an appropriate penalty scheme, and I think this is an appropriate penalty scheme.
