Three years take the convict to federal time which means, in theory, he can get day parole in six months. More likely he's looking at a slightly longer period but almost certainly less than a year.
If this is a terrible accident, albeit one for which he is culpable, then the sentence may be too harsh. On the other hand if this is seen as closer to intentional (or better yet, willfully neglectful) then the sentence is not harsh enough.

The sentencing circle seems to have forgotten the little girls. The father forgot the little girls. And now the Crown has forgotten the little girls. The little girls were compromised in this waste-of-time.
3 years doesn't seem anywhere near harsh enough. He robbed them of their life, their future, although one wonders what future they might have had with a parent like the convicted. That story still saddens me to this day. I think of how horrible and bewildering their final moments must have been.
