I will say what I've said previously. I think judges and the Criminal Code provide a structure; offences involving firearms are punishable by significant maximum penalties of imprisonment. The Supreme Court, in some of its recent jurisprudence, has reaffirmed the principle that a maximum penalty, provided for in law, provides clear guidance to the courts on the seriousness of the offence.
With regard to the example you cite in terms of the decision in Quebec, we're aware of it. There are routes of appeal for these matters.
I understand your point. The important piece to remember, again, is that the law, as it operates, provides clear signposts. In the way the law is implemented, there are situations in which the outcomes are, perhaps, what one would expect, but there are checks and balances within that system in terms of appeal rights, etc.
