Parity in sentencing

R. v. Choquette, 2010 ONCA 327 released today has a useful comment regarding parity in sentencing:

The issue of parity

[11]         The parity principle does not require that the sentences given to persons who commit the same crime be the same; the parity principle requires that the differences be understandable.
