May EU law, and more particularly Article 4(3) TEU in conjunction with Article 325 TFEU and Directive 2006/112/EC, which oblige the Member States to provide effective, dissuasive and proportionate penalties to protect the financial interests of the European Union, be interpreted as precluding the enactment of a national provision which exempts the defendant (whether a director, legal representative, person to whom responsibility for fiscal matters has been delegated or an accessory to the offence) from liability to punishment, if the entity with legal personality concerned has made late payment both of the tax itself and of the administr ...[+++]ative penalties owed in connection with VAT, even though the tax assessment has already been made, criminal proceedings and indictment initiated, and the establishment of inter partes proceedings duly confirmed, but before trial proceedings have been declared opened, in a system that does not impose on that director, legal representative, or delegate and accessory to the offence any other penalty, not even an administrative penalty?

(a) the offence is an exclusively summary conviction offence with relatively moderate fines and driving prohibitions; (b) a peace officer may issue a ticket to the accused, and an accused who receives a ticket can choose to plead guilty without having to appear in court; (c) for an accused who wishes to contest the charge, the ticket procedure adopts the existing procedures that apply to appearance notices; (d) because of related changes made to the Criminal Records Act, if a person convicted of the new " over .05" offence has no additional drinking-and-driving related convictions for two years, the record of the conviction will be d ...[+++]estroyed; and (e) to ensure accuracy in identifying the offender and determining whether they qualify to have their record of conviction destroyed, an accused is subject to the Identification of Criminals Act even though the offence is a summary conviction offence.

Specifically, I recommend the bill be amended to include the following rights in cases where it does not pose a safety risk to the accused, the facility or an individual, and only in cases where the victim requests the information: that victims be advised of the location of the forensic facility where the accused is detained; that victims be given advance notice of any scheduled absence, either escorted or unescorted, from the hospital and the general destination — the city or town — to which the accused will be travelling; that victims be given advance notice of the destination of release or conditional discharge, or if the accused will be travelling to the vicinity of the victims on conditional discharge; that victims be informed of an ...[+++]y conditions of release for the accused when they are conditionally discharged into the community, which may include such things as mandated medication or treatment, non-communication with children or others, the requirement to attend treatment sessions, general mobility restrictions and more; and that victims be given advance notice of any scheduled transfer to another facility, of a change in level of security of their ward, or if the accused is moved to another province or territory for the purposes of treatment.
