I fully understand that the fees you charge are set by the legislation. In the case of the $631, that legislation goes back to 2010. My question was rather about a new system that would be modified as a result of the committee’s recommendations and of studies in the future.
Would we be saving money if a system automatically pardoned someone who may have committed a non-violent crime as their first offence and who would not even have been incarcerated in the first place? Would there be a huge cost to that?
I am not talking about the existing system, but about a hypothetical situation, although I know that it is a slippery slope. I am not sure if you are grasping what I mean by my question.
