I'll digress a bit here and I'll go back to my previous life as a police officer.
That's the challenge. Unfortunately, there are those in society who are released on conditions, who choose not to recognize the conditions. Irrespective of how hard the courts try, they choose not to follow their conditions. Then they're brought before the court again for a breach, and in some cases are provided with a jail sentence, but in a lot of cases they're not. They're released again, given a second chance, or sometimes a 10th or a 15th chance. We see it quite often.
I don't want to belabour the mandatory minimum because I think we've heard enough of that, but at the end of the day, when is enough enough? The question would be, to anyone here, if a person is released on conditions by a provincial court judge and/or a federal court judge, and they breach those conditions—let's say specific to a sexual assault case—what should happen if they come before the courts, breaching the conditions that they were released upon by the courts. Should they be released again, or be put in jail?
That's where I see the failure of the system when it comes to victims. The courts are trying their best to balance, but when is the balance done and you say enough is enough? You've had your chance. We've given you every chance we can.
I direct that to Ms. Hannem, if I may, and then I just want to ask another question.
