Question juridique clé
Whether the appellate court misapplied the asperation principle in sentencing for multiple offenses
Solution extraite
The sentence could stand in the result even if the additional offenses were weighted too heavily; the Federal Court would not interfere.
Motifs extraits
The court held that numerical allocation of each sentencing factor is not required. Even if the total increase over the base sentence was substantial, the imposed sentence remained within federal law in light of the seriousness and multiplicity of the offenses.
