Thank you very much, Mr. Jowhari. Thanks so much for bringing this important bill forward, and for appearing at our committee and helping us understand it a little better. I know the good work you have done on mental health issues in your time as a member of Parliament, and I commend you for that. It's an important issue, and I think everyone around here notices the good work you have done in that regard.
Section 718 of the Criminal Code includes sentencing principles. Of course, to denounce an offence, or to deter other people from committing that offence is important. One of them, though, under paragraph 718(d), is to help rehabilitate the offender and make sure they get the help they need so they are not as likely to commit another offence, thereby protecting society in the future.
Do you think your bill will help rehabilitate offenders?
