Thank you very much.
Perhaps I can make a suggestion which relates to the concerns raised by Mr. Lee, which I share. Indeed, after having listened to him, I understand very well, but perhaps if we added “and other electronic tools as described by the judge”, there would be precise instructions to follow. I imagine that when direction is given, it could refer to a certain number of things. It could refer to the Internet, it could refer to access to this or access to that, and so on, but you do not think of heart monitors or that type of instrument.
There is something else I want to ask right now. Several of the minimum sentence increases affect minimum sentences which were created in 2005, particularly as relates to sections 3, 4, 5, 9, 11 and 12 of Bill C-54. They were introduced for the first time in 2005 and came into effect on November 1, 2005.
To your knowledge, has the Department of Justice, or anyone else, ever undertaken a study to determine how the imposition of minimum sentences in 2005 affected outcomes?
