I don't have any figures to give you, but based on my experience and my discussions with many colleagues who are also firearms specialists and who are still working, I can give you an idea.
For example, let's talk about something that happened last year. I mentioned it earlier. William Rainville was sentenced to four or five years in prison, but only spent one year in a federal penitentiary.
Obviously, the maximum mandatory sentences provided for in the Criminal Code are rarely imposed, and by that I mean almost never. This is due to case law, whereby judges are bound by previous decisions. Increasing the maximum sentence to 14 years can seem like a good idea, but how can we even think that this measure will be effective, when we know that 10‑year sentences are rarely handed down?
The same logic applies to nearly every crime. Maximum sentences are only given in rare cases.
