It is part of the obligation of any presiding officer or any judge to understand the consequences of the sentence they're handing out, so that point is addressed during training.
I should point out two additional things that are very important for the committee to understand.
Presiding officers at summary trial can avail themselves—in fact, if they have any doubt, should avail themselves—of legal advice with regard to any question or concern they have. It's their decision, since they're the decision-maker, but they can receive legal advice about it.
The second thing is actually one of the important elements of clause 62, which deals with the improvements that Bill C-15 intends to make in sentencing. It specifies, in fact, that the person who is going to impose the sentence—whether a presiding officer at summary trial, a military judge at a court martial, or indeed even an appellate judge of the Court Martial Appeal Court or the Supreme Court of Canada—has to consider any indirect consequences of the sentence.
That would include, in fact, a statutory obligation under Bill C-15 that the person understand that if they were to give a particular sentence that fell outside the exemptions provided in clause 75, presuming that passes, there would be the consequence that the person would acquire a record within the meaning of the Criminal Records Act.
