“Unfettered judicial discretion” is a way of characterizing what I said. But I have always supported, and continue to support, judicial discretion. In other words, sentencing is a process whereby the court sanctions an individual, not some mummy but a person. Judges need to have all the latitude. When the Criminal Code says from zero to life, that's the latitude the judge should have. That is the latitude that judges should have for those types of offences. If the law says zero to ten, that's the latitude the judge should have. The judge may impose ten, and the judge may not impose any sentence at all.
In those cases where it would be appropriate not to jail a person, mandatory minimum sentences force a judge to send people to jail, and that is what we've always opposed.
