Is that what Justice Létourneau was saying, that it was the power to suspend the execution of a sentence, but not to suspend the sentence at all? In an ordinary court, when your sentence to a particular thing is suspended for two years, if you have good behaviour within the two-year period, they can apply some other sentence. You're talking about having given a sentence and suspending the execution of it. How does that work? Does that suspend forever, or does it have the sword of Damocles, so called, hanging over your head for some time?
