126 Facilitation of proof
Where an offender is before a court to be dealt with for a breach of
a sentencing order made under this Act:
(a) an averment of the prosecutor that the offender is the person
in respect of whom the order was made is evidence of the
matter so averred; and
(b) on the averring of the fact referred to in paragraph (a), the
offender may be asked by the court whether the person was
convicted of the offence or offences in respect of which the
order was made and, if the person admits the conviction or
convictions, no further proof of the conviction or convictions is
necessary.
