Craig Grimes
Justice committee Yes, it is possible, but prior to 2005, it would also be possible for probation or a conditional sentence to be a sentence for those offences. After 2005, conditional sentencing would not have been a valid sentence.
February 16th, 2011Committee meeting
Craig Grimes
Justice committee Yes, that's right.
February 16th, 2011Committee meeting
Craig Grimes
Justice committee What I can tell you about those lines and about how they're changing is that if there were mandatory minimums in place in 2005, and there were more cases going into custody, and those mandatory minimums were short, then it's possible that you would see an increase in those shorte

Craig Grimes
Justice committee So you're talking about sexual interference, invitation to sexual touching, and those kinds of offences.
February 16th, 2011Committee meeting
Craig Grimes
Justice committee It's not possible to isolate any information on the victim for sexual assault using simply the information we collect based upon the Criminal Code. Sections 271, 272, and 273 don't have any details on the victim. It's the nature of the offence, not the victim, that is included in

Craig Grimes
Justice committee For the criminal court, if you turn to slide 23 in the supplemental section of the presentation, the offences that are included in the other sexual offences are broken down, and those are the charges that are completed in court in the cases that contain at least one of those char

February 16th, 2011Committee meeting
Craig Grimes
Justice committee Yes. I don't have that information in front of me, but I can provide it to the clerk.
