The short answer is, yes.
A review of sentencing over the past 10 years is a key part of my mandate in the broader criminal justice system review. We will be looking at the mandatory minimum penalties that are in place in the Criminal Code. I will say that our government is not opposed to mandatory minimum penalties for the more serious crimes, but our review will ensure that we respect the decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada and that we ensure that sentencing provisions are in compliance with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
This is an undertaking that is going to take a bit of time, but we are looking at being able to approach mandatory minimums potentially in incremental ways, so we can see some changes as we proceed through the course of our mandate.
