This money amount was decided on by the Supreme Court of Canada, not the government.

it's a valid point, I would respectfully disagree with the rest. 15 yo child got to know what he is doing. He seems to know how to make improvised explosives?
And BTW, our Supreme Court should interpret laws passed by the Parliament - elected by the ppl of this country. So, to my ignorant mind, people should have a say in all of this.
