✦ AI Summary
Bill C-220 aimed to change how judges sentence individuals who are not Canadian citizens. Specifically, it proposed that when handing down a sentence, a judge must ignore any potential impact the sentence might have on the person's immigration status or that of their family members. The intention was to ensure sentencing decisions are based solely on the crime committed, not on the offender's citizenship or residency status.
