Certainly one could put forward that argument, but, again, a counter-argument would be that Gladue still has an impact, but more so towards the maximum that the courts would impose or the penalty that is greater than the minimum, in which case the court can take into account the special circumstances surrounding the Aboriginal offender.
L'on pourrait certainement avancer cet argument, mais, encore une fois, un argument contradictoire serait que le jugement Gladue a toujours une incidence, mais davantage en ce qui concerne le maximum que les tribunaux imposeraient, ou la sanction supérieure au minimum, auquel cas le tribunal pourrait tenir compte des circonstances particulières entourant le délinquant autochtone.
