I agree. I think it's good to be.... But one thing I want to take some issue with, and it was raised in some of the questions today, is this assertion that there could be unintended consequences such as NCR-accused not going down the NCR-accused road.
I think that's a very dangerous commentary to make at this committee, because you're suggesting that criminal defence lawyers are going to counsel NCR-accused, who they know are NCR-accused, to not plead to that because they might think there's a softer sentence by not doing it. I think those kinds of statements at this committee are very dangerous, and we should be very careful when we're effectively impugning members of the criminal defence bar, that they may engage in that kind of conduct.
