Thanks so much, Sonia. I want to look at this clause. What we see is that it's changing most of these things down to 12 months, rather than, in some cases, three years and two years. Can we understand why there is a reduction in time specifically on the recognizance order? The bill notes, “good behaviour for a period of not more than two years.” Under “Duration extended”, there was a request for “a period of not more than three years.” Then, when it comes to the defendant, “prison for a term not exceeding two years”. All of these have been reduced to 12 months. I'm wondering if I can find out why we're reducing them from three years to 12 months.
