My research did seek to highlight conditional sentence orders where possible, because, given legislative amendments, conditional sentences—and I'm sure you've already canvassed this in the previous session—were introduced with code amendments in 1996. Then in 2007 and 2012, there were incursions into judicial discretion for issuing conditional sentences. My work in part was examining how judges go through the Gladue analysis, which means looking at systemic and background factors of indigenous people before the courts and how those relate to the sanctions that are ordered.
In my research I was trying to look at how, through that Gladue framework, judges can look to alternatives to incarceration specifically for indigenous women before the courts, if there really aren't other options. In my research, there certainly were indigenous women who received conditional sentence orders and who, following the 2012 amendments, would no longer have been eligible for conditional sentences. Essentially, if a conditional sentence order is not available, then a judge would probably order a prison term instead, because a conditional sentence order most readily replaces a prison term of under two years, but some judges, in my research, also tried to construct probation orders that would approximate a conditional sentence order—
