Let's look at the principles and purposes of sentencing in the Sentencing Act that this bill washed away. They are things like the circumstances of the offence, the circumstances of the offender, the victims' views, the purpose of sentencing that goes to keeping the community safe in that particular case, what accountability looks like in each case, what deterrents might look like in each case, and, most importantly, because our justice system is geared towards keeping communities safe, what rehabilitation and successful reintegration of a prisoner back into the community requires in each case. The three-strikes law said that none of those principles and purposes of sentencing matter as much as parliamentarians looking tough on crime. Washing away the courts' discretion said that to the courts and to the public.
