It makes it far more likely that a mere fine would be handed out, and of course with respect to any jail time, anytime you go by way of summary conviction, you're basically taking jail time completely off the table for all intents and purposes. It waters the sentencing down; there's no question about it.
Again, it's unclear why we're watering down this specific offence, other than because the government just said that it would reclassify anything that was for 10 years.
