You have to understand that, basically, I'm a defence lawyer. So my practice is always guided by the humanistic approach I take with my clients.
Of course, traditionally, offences punishable by life imprisonment involve violence. These are offences that pose a certain risk to someone's life or a very high risk to their physical integrity, or terrorism offences.
Certainly, when I read the bill, I find life sentences somewhat disproportionate to the offences I see. The 14-year maximum penalty under the Criminal Code is widely used for many offences of similar gravity.
