In addition to preventing judges from exercising their best judgment, it also adds cost to our justice system, as I'm told by the lawyers who're working on the front line, because people who are guilty of offences are motivated to plead not guilty by virtue of fighting another strike on their record. Those who work on the front line of our justice system deserve to be able to respond not just to the issues in front of them but to the people in front of them. I commend this bill to the House.
