Description
The accused defrauded their First Nation of large amounts of Treaty Land Entitlement money. At trial, they were sentenced to two years less a day, to be served in the community. The Crown appealed the sentences on the basis that they were demonstrably unfit. The Court applied section 718(2)(e) of the Criminal Code. This provision provides that all available sanctions other than imprisonment must be seriously considered, with particular attention to the circumstances of Aboriginal offenders. This document is judgment of the court.
