Under proposed section 739.1 of the Criminal Code, an offender’s financial means or ability to pay would not prevent a court from making of a restitution order.
You studied this provision on the basis of the jurisprudence and you deemed that it met the Supreme Court requirements in similar cases. You are therefore setting aside the concept of the offender's ability to pay, which is no longer considered important. What happens to people who can't pay? Are they sent to prison?
