I sincerly hope that the family is able to change the laws though I assure you it will be a lifelong battle. Canadian laws are very lenient and are always in the best interest of the criminal. Mr. Li had been diagnosed with schizophrenia he needs to be held responsible for not taking his medication to keep society safe. In New Brunswick there was the same issue and the "criminal" (one who breaks society's laws) was let out after a year in a mental instution as he was deemed to be "safe" to return to society. This man decaptiated an elderly neighbor. I hope this will not be the case for Mr. Li but I'm sure we will see him on the street in a year from now. Clearly the Justice Department has stated that if you are drunk, mentally ill,or a minor in this country you are will never suffer the consequences of your actions, no matter how heinous.
