Well, I take the point, and obviously we did have a discussion earlier about mandatory minimums. However, what this amendment does in effect is that it replaces the minimum with a maximum, which is problematic in my view. You're saying that for a first offence, it is a fine of not more than $1,000. That would be the mandatory minimum that we're talking about. We're taking the discretion away from the judge to say, well, in this case you actually should have a fine greater than $1,000, for all kinds of reasons or aggravating factors or other things that need to be taken into account.
I can't support this amendment. I think the minimums that are in place now are well known at law, and known by the public. They strike the right balance and have proven to be effective. While I don't agree with raising the mandatory minimums, I certainly don't agree with making those minimums now the maximums.
