I'm not certain, at the moment, of the timeframe, but they were recent cases. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1728277\" data-originallang=\"en\"> There were changes to the maximum penalties in the last several years. Some of them were committed before those changes came into force, so they would have been decided under the previous sentencing provisions.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1728278\" data-originallang=\"en\">We'll see what we can share with the committee in terms of those cases.</p>",

Au cours de l'\u00e9t\u00e9, nous avons demand\u00e9 une revue de la jurisprudence portant sur les affaires dont il \u00e9tait facile de prendre connaissance. Je ne suis pas s\u00fbre de la p\u00e9riode qui a \u00e9t\u00e9 consid\u00e9r\u00e9e, mais il s'agissait d'affaires r\u00e9centes. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1728277\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les peines maximales ont \u00e9t\u00e9 modifi\u00e9es ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. Certaines de ces fraudes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 commises avant que ces modifications n'entrent en vigueur; elles ont donc donn\u00e9 lieu \u00e0 des jugements prononc\u00e9s aux termes des dispositions ant\u00e9rieures en mati\u00e8re de d\u00e9termination de la peine. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1728278\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous allons voir quels sont les renseignements que nous pouvons transmettre au comit\u00e9 au sujet de ces affaires. </p>"
