That would be very helpful. Thank you very much for that.
Mr. Gélinas, we've heard from several witnesses today and in a previous hearing who say to get rid of mandatory jail terms. They say that they don't work, that they increase recidivism, so why not just let a judge fashion a reasonable and fair sentence. Somehow mandatory jail time provisions prevent judges from doing so. Ms. Beckles just said that a few moments ago.
I was wondering, given your extensive experience in law enforcement what you would say in response.
