At the provincial level, in the community, while people are under sentence they're usually required, as a condition of their probation order and sometimes as a condition of their 810 order, to report and take treatment as directed by the probation officer. Forensic clinics in most provinces exist. Often they don't exist in rural areas or areas that are away from major centres, as I mentioned in my presentation.
The fact of the matter is that if we're talking about treatment, this bill is not going to get it there. These people are going to jail for mandatory minimums, and those mandatory minimums have absolutely nothing to do with whether a person receives or does not receive treatment. That's the flaw in this bill.
As for the other parts of the bill, in terms of the laws that are being added, I don't really see any problems with adding those additional laws for the reasons cited by my colleagues. But the mandatory minimums are not going to touch treatment. People are not going to receive treatment in jail for those periods of time. For periods of less than a year, they are not likely to receive any treatment inside an institution.
