Certainly from the perspective of the penalty imposed, the mandatory penalty of life imprisonment, they are the most serious offences from a sentencing perspective because they carry the most significant penalty of imprisonment. Unlike other areas of criminal law and sentencing law in particular, these mandatory penalties have not been the subject of significant charter litigation. They have been upheld in the context of murder. I'll check with my colleague whether treason has ever been challenged constitutionally. I don't think it has.
To pick up on a comment I made earlier in response to a question, we have not seen, in respect of those specific offences, the same kinds of concerns around trial delay, guilty pleas and things of that nature in that context as compared to the other types of offences.
