R v Moran – 2019 ONCA 217 (Per Curiam):
[21] In cases such as this involving fraud in connection with funds earmarked for social assistance
for the disadvantaged, the predominant sentencing objectives are denunciation and deterrence. It is
all the more so where the offender is a recidivist who within months of findings of guilt for cognate
offences re-offends while bound by the terms of a probation order. The offending conduct in this
case was deliberate and extended over a period of eight months. Setting to one side the influence of
the collateral immigration consequences, the application of the controlling sentencing objectives,
principles and aggravating and mitigating factors warranted a term of imprisonment in the
mid-reformatory range.
