METRO VANCOUVER — An Abbotsford man shot to death Monday in North Delta was out on bail on gun and drug-trafficking charges when he became Metro’s latest murder statistic.
Sukhwinder Singh Dhaliwal, 32, was charged last May with seven counts, including possession for the purpose of trafficking, possession of a prohibited firearm with ammunition, and careless use of a gun.

Under the proposed legislation, the use of a firearm in committing a serious offence will be subject to a significant sentence. If, for example, an offence is gang-related, or if a restricted or prohibited firearm such as a handgun is used, the minimum penalty will be:
5 years on a first offence
7 years if the accused has one prior conviction involving the use of a firearm to commit an offence
10 years if the accused has more than one prior conviction for using a firearm to commit an offence
This wouldn't have happened if he was in jail.
