Okay, but this leaves room for the judge to not impose a prison sentence.
Recently in Quebec news there was a case where the person had firearms at home, but it was decided that the person would not get a prison sentence.
A minimum sentence is an indication of the seriousness of the crime. The legislator does not talk just to fill the air. If a four-year minimum sentence is repealed that must mean that the legislator considers the crime to be less serious. Am I wrong?
