What are the consequences of a conviction for assault with a deadly weapon under the Criminal Code of Ontario?

In 1996 a jury found defendant guilty of five counts of assault with a deadly weapon ( 245, subd. (a)(2)); three counts of infliction of corporal injury on a child resulting in a traumatic condition ( 273d); two counts of felon in possession of a firearm (former 12021, subd. (a)); and single counts of: firing a gun at an occupied vehicle ( 246), firing a gun in a grossly negligent manner ( 246.3), and corporal injury to a spouse or a cohabitant ( 273.5, subd. (a)). The following enhancements were also found true: five personal use of a firearm allegations ( 12022.5, subd. (a)), one use of a deadly weapon ( 12022, subd. (b)), two prior felony convictions ( 667, subd. (a)), two prior prison terms ( 667.5, subd. (b)), and one felony conviction within the meaning of sections 273.55 and 273.56. It was further determined defendant had two prior convictions for purposes of the three strikes law. The trial court sentenced defendant to eight consecutive third-strike sentences of 25 years to life, plus enhancements of 31 years, with execution of sentence on the remaining counts stayed pursuant to section 654. Defendant appealed, and his judgment was affirmed by this court. (People v. Perez (Nov. 13, 1997, C024554) [nonpub. opn.].)
