Mr. Russomanno, I'm going to pick up on that.
What you're effectively saying is that the capacity of the judicial system to find people deserving of some form of lesser sentence is going to be there. If your client shows true remorse for what they've done and they've undertaken some community work, as you suggest, and they then proceed back towards having a negotiation with the crown, either before a pretrial or at pretrial, you could explain the circumstances, and therefore the crown and you could come to an agreement that this deserving individual, who has shown that they actually have remorse for the desecration of a war memorial, should have the opportunity to plead to a lesser offence and obtain a conditional sentence, and therefore, their life won't be ruined, as you suggested, by having a criminal offence.
That's still available even with this legislation.
