In a dire financial predicament, such as a person on welfare, will those people have to pay over a period of 25 years? In addition, a person may have a physical or mental disability. There are cases like that. We are certainly going to hear witnesses talk about extremely tough situations that first nations are experiencing, for example. Unfortunately, many aboriginals are sent to jail.
Have those cases really been studied? We keep talking about the judicial discretion that used to exist. Granted, perhaps it was misapplied, because we no longer know why they refused to apply the surcharge. But we could limit judicial discretion instead of removing it completely. Have you considered that?
