Thank you for that clarification.
Colleagues, clearly one of the limitations of the imposition of a conditional sentence is where that offence has a mandatory minimum penalty—a number of the offences, as listed. The heart of this particular amendment is to preclude the availability of conditional sentences. Bearing in mind that list that was provided by the official, I would like to narrow my amendment to only include those offences that could proceed by way of summary conviction, or those offences that currently do not have mandatory minimum penalties.
I have one final question for the officials.
On the offences that you indicated do not have mandatory minimum penalties, is that as a result or partly as a result of the passage of Bill C-5 in the 44th Parliament?
