Let's keep in mind that I overlapped with Brian Saunders for four years, so what he heard, I heard. I think the case he referred to is in one of my regions. A judge refused to take a guilty plea on simple possession on the basis that he didn't want to be the last judge in Canada to sentence somebody on marijuana possession.
Oddly enough, despite the tabling of the bill, we have not been hearing that of late. We've not been getting much in the way of resistance from the judiciary. Certainly, from our standpoint, it's not for us to decide whether a bill will pass or not, so we are continuing to prosecute cases.
I will say that when we're dealing with small amounts, obviously prosecutors will use their discretion based on what they know of the accused and the circumstances of the offence. There are, for example, diversion programs that can be looked at when you're dealing with a first-time offender, and I'm satisfied that prosecutors are exercising discretion appropriately.
