Two Quebec judges have spoken out in recent days, criticizing efforts by Crown prosecutors and defence lawyers to seek reduced sentences aimed at preserving the immigration status of foreign nationals.
Quebec Court Justice Antoine Piché was the latest judge to comment on the matter when he accused Montreal Crown prosecutors this week of “regularly” reducing standard sentences to prevent offenders from being deported.
