Okay. Somebody reports a fraud to you. You look at it and say that you're going to put all this effort into it, all these man-hours, all the resources, and you're actually trying to get a conviction there. Then you go to the courts, and it's basically a slap on the wrist.
I'm thinking of a woman in Montreal this past March who was defrauded of thousands of dollars. The perpetrators were sentenced to 18 months of house arrest with generous carve-outs for going to the gym and things like that. Her comment was that she felt the penalty was “a joke”.
Do you, as the RCMP, also figure that there are not proper penalties for the crimes that are being committed?
