You know, I don't think anyone is going to look at this section of the Criminal Code for a long time. Mr. Hoover, what I'm thinking is that if we were to add, in section 161, something to the effect that if the court makes a decision not to impose the prohibitions under subsection 161(1), it shall state the reasons for the decision on the record.
That mirrors the language we have in the other sections, not requiring it to be in writing, but addressing the issue that was raised by the witnesses who came on Tuesday, who said that if the geographic restriction were not imposed, not mentioned at all by the judge, then suddenly it's over and they're left standing there saying, “What's happened?”
Do you think an amendment along those lines would address those concerns?
