I think I understand your question, sir.
Looking at the way the courts work on bail and mandatory minimum sentences, as far as Gladue goes, we go to the bail first and they take into consideration the background of the person specifically if they are indigenous. Previous charges, criminal records and all of that play a role in whether or not release is going to be granted or in conditions where the person remains in custody.
As far as mandatory minimums go, from previous investigations I've been part of with mandatory minimums for firearms trafficking, say, there has to be some sort of deterrent. I know that as of late there have been conditional sentences imposed for firearms offences. I don't agree with that, because then we have a repeat of certain serious crimes involving a firearm, and we've both brought forth examples of individuals who committed crimes with firearms and violence in the past being released to commit the same sorts of offences on bail conditions going forward.
I hope that answers your question, sir.
