When drafting this bill, Mr. Warawa, and the consideration around it on conditional release, it seems to me as though this is one of those offences to which house arrest would not be applicable. There are many that could be, and I can think of some, but sexual assault is not one of them.
Was there consideration when drafting the bill to amend the Criminal Code through section 742 to not allow for house arrest as a condition of release? What I mean by that is when a person is sentenced to less than two years, and the judge determines the person can play out their sentence in the comfort of their home, was there some consideration to not allow that to occur?
