I disagree. For individuals who are responsible for this sort of act, especially when it comes to youth and minors, and from all of the consultation that took place up to the compiling of this piece of legislation, I'm obviously in support of a minimum mandatory sentence.
There was a reason we came up with this. It wasn't just something I dreamt about one night and decided to put on a piece of paper the next day. This is a serious problem. The people who are responsible for recruiting vulnerable Canadians and destroying their lifestyle, especially when it comes to youth, need to be held accountable. A minimum mandatory sentence would send a very strong message to these individuals that if they are going to do this, they will be held accountable.
