The merit would be in the intention, but I do not think it works. I don't think it can work. I don't think it makes sense to try to bend it out of shape and find a way to do at the federal level what the province already does and perhaps could do better.
If there is any problem with the execution of orders that is specific to prisoners receiving awards, then I think the provincial government should be encouraged to fine-tune its scheme, which already exists, which purports to be comprehensive and is already funded.
I don't see the point of this.
