From a practical perspective of being a defence lawyer and advising your client, let's say a case comes to you on something that you're not super familiar with and you resort to the Criminal Code to try to give an answer really quickly to somebody who's saying “What am I looking at here?” If you're not up to date on what has been declared unconstitutional in every single section of the code, and the code is not being cleaned up to keep in line with what the Supreme Court has ruled, then we're going to run into situations where bad legal advice is given to people. They'll then make decisions about how to conduct their trials, or who to hire as their lawyers, based on that bad legal advice that is not up to date.
I've encountered situations—I've seen them happen in court—where people are given illegal sentences, or where prosecutors who aren't aware of findings of unconstitutionality or the elimination of certain sentencing provisions take a position on sentencing that then leads to a trial taking longer, or leads to a plea being entered, God forbid, in circumstances where perhaps the resolution agreed to between crown and defence isn't available any longer. If the code is not being amended to keep up with that, then you'll have people getting advice that will not be the correct advice.
No one defence lawyer can memorize every single section of the code and follow every single case that comes out to know what's unconstitutional. It's impossible for us—I swear.
