But I assume you know lawyers who do. My question is around section 718.2 of the Criminal Code, which allows a defence counsel to raise any issue that might impact the sentencing of an accused who's been convicted that might be a mitigating factor. I wonder if you could tell us, if you know, do defence counsel typically raise this? If not, why not? If they don't, do you think they're negligent in not bringing it up if there is some evidence that their client may suffer from FASD?
