Again, Mr. Chair, this option, as I indicated earlier, looks at both the objective gravity question and the subjective gravity question, and it increases the threshold with respect to both. The five offences that were initially identified in clause 75 are now expanded to 27 offences, all of which involve a maximum punishment of two years' imprisonment or less. That is the objective gravity portion.
The subjective gravity portion deals with the punishment that may be imposed, which in the original drafting of clause 75 was a fine of $500 or less. We now talk about a punishment that would involve a severe reprimand, a reprimand, a fine not exceeding basic pay for one month, or a minor punishment. Essentially we've expanded the punishment threshold with respect to when the exemption would apply.
I'm more than happy to walk through a listing of what the offences cover with respect to each of those numbers that are on the page, and I can certainly provide copies of those in both languages to members of the committee as well, if there is a desire to receive those.
