Yes, and the scenario you share is probably a very likely scenario. Two years less a day will be managed by the provinces. It's not federal time. For provincial governments there's consideration for the cost of incarceration and administration. The easiest way is to allow the offender to serve their sentence at home under the condition that they do not contact their victim, that they don't see them, don't phone them, don't e-mail them, that they have no contact with them. Maybe this is the reason this happened.
To have house arrest and to permit this re-victimization hasn't, I don't think, in the past been seriously considered, maybe not considered at all. The major change in Bill C-489 is that they would now be required to. Whether it's the federal parole board, the Parole Board of Canada.... If it's two years or more, it's federal; if it's two years less a day, then it's provincial, as you know. All administrative bodies would be guided by this change. It would be in the Criminal Code of Canada. They would have to consider the impacts of the sentencing on the victim and the victim's family.
