I'll continue on the same line of questioning as Mr. Cooper.
The existing text of subsection 721(3) states that:
Unless otherwise specified by the court, the report must, wherever possible, contain information on the following matters:
Then we have the “age, maturity, character, behaviour, attitude and willingness to make amends”, and now we're adding mental health.
I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, the words “wherever possible” allow you some leeway whereby you try your best efforts.
Who ultimately makes the final call on the pre-sentence report? Is it the probation officer himself or herself?
Yes?
Okay, thank you.
