Thank you for that.
I take the point of the witnesses, the general concern about limiting preliminary inquiries. The government has set two streams, one involving cases where the maximum sentence is life, which would be eligible for a preliminary inquiry, and the other involving the rest of the cases, which would not. Do you see any logic in that? It certainly seems like the government is impliedly concurring that there is value to preliminary inquiries, from the fact that they're maintaining at least some. Why is there this separation between cases with life sentences and everything else?
