Again, and you did touch on it, for those individuals who find themselves convicted of a crime in this country, there is the fine option program available in seven of the provinces, which allows people to find other ways of contributing and dealing with their inability to pay the fine or the surcharge of the fine or the surcharge on their criminal conviction for a summary or indictable offence. Indeed, in provinces which do not, or do not yet have one of these programs, they deal with it in a certain way.
