I have just a point of clarification, if I may.

These are dual procedure offences. If the crown elects to proceed by way of summary conviction, then a conditional sentence would be available to a judge under those circumstances. It's only under those circumstances where the crown elects to proceed by way of indictment that the 14-year penalty would restrict the use of a conditional sentence for the judge.
