The following excerpt is from R. v. P.(M.), 2013 ONCJ 190 (CanLII):
[51] In Regina v. Lights, [2007] O.J. No. 1516, the court noted that under the Y.C.J.A. accountability is the watchword and that an adult sentence should be imposed when a youth sentence would not be long enough to meaningfully address the seriousness of the offences, the offender’s role in them and his or her rehabilitation and ultimate reintegration into society. (See para. 45).
