The following excerpt is from R. v. Kahpeepatow, 1991 CanLII 7956 (SK CA):

The Queen, and after making allowances for the personal circumstances of the respondent, including her expressions of sorrow and resolve, we have come to the conclusion that nothing short of a three and a half year term of imprisonment would constitute a properly balanced and fit sentence.
