In fact, we're talking about protection of the public, not sustainable protection. We want the notion of sustainability to disappear from the old act. In my view, it helps determine whether, with time, the person will reoffend and whether we establish the means to ensure that person does not. That notion took into account the need to do something for the person. In my opinion, the fact that we are abolishing the notion of sustainable protection is a major change. It gives us an idea of the tone the government wants to give to the act.
