The following analysis was conducted to determine the top enforcement issues for the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in 2013, as well as to try to determine some emerging trends.

One of the most basic failings of the current sentencing system in Canada is that there is no method for anyone (not a judge, accused, lawyer, member of the public [...], Sentencing statistics are not routinely published in Canada. In this article, we summarize the principal findings from a data-base recently created by Statistics Canada. The sentences derive from provincial courts in nine jurisdictions across Canada over the period 1993-1994. These are, accordingly, the most systematic sentencing data collected in decades. The sentencing data-base contains information on 551,682 individuals and over one million sentences. The findings reported here are restricted to single charge cases, in which one charge is associated with a case. A fine was the most frequently imposed sanction;fines were imposed in over half the cases. A term of imprisonment was imposed in one-quarter of the cases. Sentences of imprisonment were frequently accompanied by a period of probation to be served at the conclusion of the term of custody. Sentencing patterns at the trial court level bore little relationship to the maximum penalty structure, thereby underlining the importance of a comprehensive revision of the maximum penalties currently found in the Criminal Code.
