Yes. Thank you for the question, sir.
I believe that stiffer penalties would provide two deterrents for us.
The first is deterring criminal offenders, obviously, due to substantial consequences for committing offences.
Second, many of these offenders are repeat offenders. If they are incarcerated for longer periods of time, they are, in fact, not out in the community and able to victimize innocent Canadians by engaging in these criminal activities that they do over and over again.
