My previous comments were more focused on Mr. Baber's question about credit for pre-sentence custody.
Bill C-14 doesn't have any proposals in it that would impact the current criminal law framework with respect to pre-sentence custody. I think the minister spoke very clearly, however, about the need to make investments upstream, before you get to the criminal justice system, in order to have the intended impact. It's not just law reform; it is also societal investments and enforcement capacity. To build on his remarks, all of that is critical in ensuring that criminal law ends up in a way so that Canadians feel protected and our charter rights are respected.
