Let's look at what happened with the co-accused, Mathieu Naud, who pleaded guilty to possession of more than 250 videos involving the rape of children aged five to 10. The Supreme Court struck down the mandatory minimum sentence for Naud and agreed to maintain and not interfere with the nine-month sentence that the court below, the court of first instance, had imposed.
This is what I suggest to you: Would you not agree that striking down the mandatory minimum sentence in a situation where you have 250 videos of children being raped is the type of absurdity that Chrétien potentially had in mind?
