Well, the most obvious is clearly, in various parts throughout the bill, the idea that mandatory minimum sentences are going to keep us safe. The evidence that harsher sentences generally and mandatory minimum sentences will keep us safe is clearly absent. The evidence would suggest that it is going to have no positive impact.
The second example is that in various ways the bill implies that incarceration is preferable to systems that attempt to reintegrate prisoners into society and that it ignores the fact that most prisoners are going to be back in our midst at the end of their sentences; this comes out in the Transfer of Offenders Act, in changes to the CCRA, and so on. It ignores the fact that one of the best things that can be done with people who are in prison is to have controlled re-entry into the community.
The third example I would give has to do with the preference in general for incarceration rather than punishment within the community. The bill in its broad form in a number of instances clearly moves toward a system wherein the presumption is in favour of imprisonment and the assumption is that prison will create safe communities and safe streets. This clearly is wrong.
