Yes, I did, actually. There's nothing to report. I was away on vacation.
There is an issue even with the actual proposal you're making there. If it is a summary trial, there should not be consequences, because we know that some of the offences are treated the same way. Section 129 includes almost everything. It goes from almost nothing to very serious offences for which higher fines will be requested.
At the end of the day, there are some issues. For example, if someone can choose to go to summary trial, he will not get any criminal record. If he believes he should get a better trial and for his defence he elects court martial and is found guilty, then he will end up with a criminal record. I believe it's unfair. It's the same offence that would have mandated.... It's justice, and as my colleague mentioned, it's fundamental. Even in those cases where the accused is given a choice, it should be treated the same way as an offence that goes straight to summary trial. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to me. Why would you or I be prosecuted in one way and end up in worse jeopardy than we would otherwise?
