The Harper government passed a law where if you committed a offence with a firearm, you had a mandatory 4 year sentence in addition to any other sentence. Problem was the Crown usually plead the 4 year sentence away. So much for mandatory.
Supreme Court (or a Provinial Court) struck it down as excessive. The Harper government tried to appeal or reinstate it But lost the election. Liberals have repealed it I believe.
This strange as they are trying to pick on gun owners.
