- (a) if a restricted firearm or prohibited firearm is used in the commission of the offence or if any firearm is used in the commission of the offence and the offence is committed for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with, a criminal organization, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 14 years and to a minimum punishment of imprisonment for a term of

- (a.2) if the complainant is under the age of 16 years, to imprisonment for life and to a minimum punishment of imprisonment for a term of five years; and
- (b) in any other case, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding fourteen years.
- Subsequent offences
(3) In determining, for the purpose of paragraph (2)(a) [agression sexuelle militaire ou causant des lésions corporelles – avec une arme à feu ou pour une organisation criminelle], whether a convicted person has committed a second or subsequent offence, if the person was earlier convicted of any of the following offences, that offence is to be considered as an earlier offence:
- (a) an offence under this section;
- (b) an offence under subsection 85(1) or (2) [usage d'une arme à feu ou d'une imitation lors de la perpétration d'une infraction] or section 244 [discharging firearm] or 244.2 [déchargement d'une arme à feu – imprudence]; or

However, an earlier offence shall not be taken into account if 10 years have elapsed between the day on which the person was convicted of the earlier offence and the day on which the person was convicted of the offence for which sentence is being imposed, not taking into account any time in custody.
- Sequence of convictions only
(4) For the purposes of subsection (3) [agression sexuelle militaire ou causant des lésions corporelles – infractions ultérieures], the only question to be considered is the sequence of convictions and no consideration shall be given to the sequence of commission of offences or whether any offence occurred before or after any conviction.

The offender, who was unknown to the victim, entered the store, locked the door, and threatened the complainant with a knife that he claimed to have in his back pocket. He took her into a back room of the store and made her perform oral sex on him before raping her. The offence was found to be a premeditated one on a vulnerable victim who suffered long-term consequences in her personal life. The offender had a criminal record that included domestic assault.

She was grabbed by the offender, a stranger, who wielded a knife with a blade of approximately one foot in length. After taking her money and personal objects, the offender dragged the woman into a nearby park and into a townhouse in a residential development. She was forced into the basement, tied up, and raped repeatedly. She was punched about the head and body when she tried to resist. The judge took the view that the offender was a "predator". The attack was pre-planned on a vulnerable victim and a weapon was used. The judge held that public safety, denunciation, and deterrence were paramount and imposed a sentence of nine years."
