1. That all charges-be based on the criminal Code or Canadian statute. At present charges can be laid under the common law of England and under old Endash statutes. V

2. That in cases where a person has been convicted of drivins WN19 impaired by alcohol. the court have power to suspend his driving licence.

3. That the jurisdiction of magistrates be extended to reduce the number of offences which must be tried by a 1udge1 and

ur . J Ly That the definition of crim- inal negligence be changed to eliminate the confusion which has arisen. particularly in motor- manslsughter cases.

5. That appeals against sent- ences alone be permitted.

6. That a Judge be allowed to suspend the sentence of first of- fenders without the consent of crown counsel.

7. That no change be made in the present code empowering tlle imposition of fines in lieu of or in addition to any other punter.- ment.

would Abolish Grand Jury

Without. making a recommend- anon. the commission said it fav- ors abolition of the grand Jury in the interests oi uniformity.

"It has been abolished in every part of the Britishcommonweslth except in Canada where it is re- tained in five provinces-Ontario. Nova Scotia. New Brunswick. Prince Edward Island and New- foundland." said the report.

"However. the grand jury forms part of the judicial machinery for the enforcement of the law (in those provinces where. it has been retained. Moreover it has in tile past been abolished only in those provinces that have asked for its abolition.

”In these circumstances we do not feel free to recommend its abolition without the support of the provinces concerned.”

A grand jury, made up of per- sons subpoenaed study indict- ments in criminal cases and dc- cide whether there is sufficient evidence to warrsnt.bringing the cases to court.

The commission. also. without making a recommendation, ex- pressed the opinion that publish- ers. editors and others charged with publication M defamatory libel be indicted. tried and pun- ished where the offence is com- mitted. At present. the code. re- quires ihst the person charged be tried and punished in the Province where he resides or in which the newspaper is printed.

No change wall recommended in sections of the code covering gambling.

Deal With Sentences

on the question of sentences. the report said that those now provided in the code "follow no apparent pattern or principle and in our view are frequently not consonant with the gravity of the offences to which they relate."

"Your commissioners are of the opinion that there should be a few general divisions of punish- ment by imprisonment. each of- fpnce being assigned to one of the division."

Apart from the ,csses where the sentence of death may 130 lm' posed. offences would be divided into categories calling maximum sentences of life: 14 .VNl”!: 10 years; five years; and two WI”-

The report did not list the of- fences which would be assigned to the different divisions.

At present the code sets out the minimum and maximum pen- altles which n iudse may Im- pose.

"Your commissioners consider that all minimum punishments should be abolished and none are contained in the draft bill." said the report. It quoted the opposi- tion of Canadian and British judicial authorities to statutory minimum punishments.

A Justice Department said seceptance of the commis- sion's recommendation would mean that a judge would have more freedom in fixing a penalty to fit the crime.

"Your commissioners have con- sidered the question of indeter- minate sentences and have con- aulted the provincial represents- tives in the matter." said the re- port.

"There was no general feellns in favor of such sentences. and while we believe they would have some merit. we think it would be impracticable to provide for such sentences until the i'OQlllllllP 17"" vhincry. including a pnrolc board. has been established."

On the question of criminal ne- gilgence. the report said a great deal of confusion has arisen. PI!- iioulsrly in motor ulhtll asses. as to the degree of neg1isell- re required to sustain I conviction against an accused person.

Define Ctllllhul N,egIIl'9lW9

The definition of criminal negli- some in the existing code is too broad sstd' the report. Ind til! courts have held that to be guilty of negligence an accused must have shown such disregard for lives and safety of others as to amount. to a crime against the state.

inserted this definition of crminsl negligence:

"Every one is criminally negli- gent who shows a wanton or reck- less disregard for the lives or safe- ty of other persons by doing any- thing. or by omitting to do any- thing that it is his duty to do."

Duty would mean a duly impos- ed by law or a duty for the breach of which a person could be found liable in civil proceedings.

livery one who by criminal negli- gence csuses the death o! another person is guilty of all. indictable offence and is liable to lmDr1son- ment for life. Any persons who by criminal negligence causes bodily Injury to another person is guilty of an indictable .o11enco and is il- sble to imprisonment for 10 years.

A Justice Department official

said the recommended cha ge might make it easier to obtain C31- victlolls in motor-manslaughter cases. Jllrlcs were hesitant to con- vict a man of manslaughter, but they might convict him of crimin- al negligence. The maximum pen- alties would be the same under the new sections of the code. Under the changes, such charges as dangerous driving and speeding would disappear. They would come under charges of criminal negli- gence.

Cases For Judge And Jury

The commission recommended that the offences which must be "led by 11 Illdse and jury be re- duced to include only treasonable ollenccs. Dlracy and pirstlcsl acts, murder. imanslaughter, combi. nations Ill restraint of trade. dis- crimination In trade. after the fact to murder or treason. attempt to commit murder and conspiracy to murder.

"The rights oi an accused are in no way impaired as he is entitled to elect whether he will be tried by 5 Judge and .1lll”.V. h.v to judge alone. or by a magistrate." said the re- port.

"Provision is made to enable an accused who is in custody in one province to have charges outstand- In! lizsinst him in another provin- ce disposed of if he wishes, but only where the accused admits his guilt and the attorney general of the province in which the offences were committed consents."

As a result of rearrangements and consolidations, the number 01 sections in the code would he re- duced to 748 from 1152.
