Context: House Hansard - 117 - Oct/25/22
Mrs. Tracy Gray
Madam Speaker, I am not sure, specifically, what the member is referring to. Maybe we could talk at a later date. Basically, the way the legislation works is that it would be up to the judge at the time of sentencing to determine, based on someone's past track record, if they would be eligible for this type of option. I also just want to point out that it would be up to the individual who is being sentenced to approve of that. This is something the person would have to agree to in order to go down that path. The feedback I have had from many people who work in the criminal justice system is that they say quite often there are a lot of individuals who want to go down this path, but as of right now there is just not the opportunity.
