Anyone speak any legalese?
I'm reading thru Bill C-15 and getting confused on what denotes sections/subsections/paragraphs/subwhatevers.
PS if you don't know, Canadas drug policy is about to take a massive step backwards
I heard something about this being part of conforming to a UN law standard?
Heres the actual gov. page for the bill
This part makes me scratch my head..
"8. The court is not required to impose a minimum punishment unless it is satisfied that the offender, before entering a plea, was notified of the possible imposition of a minimum punishment for the offence in question and of the Attorney General’s intention to prove any factors in relation to the offence that would lead to the imposition of a minimum punishment."
