Does the Minister of Justice's decision that the US charges of conspiracy to distribute and advertise child pornography differ from the Canadian offence of distributing child pornography was reasonable?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from United States v. Lane, 2017 ONCA 396 (CanLII):

The Minister’s decision that the American charges of conspiracy to distribute and advertise child pornography differ from the Canadian offence of distributing child pornography was also reasonable. A charge of conspiracy does not subsume the substantive offence. The essence of conspiracy is a meeting of minds with regard to a common design to do something unlawful, not the actual carrying out of that design: see Sheppe; United States of America v. Dynar, [1997] 2 S.C.R. 362, at paras. 86-90; and Lake, at para. 44.
