In the story “Rape survivor decries judge’s controversial decision” (March 10, page 3), The Uniter we wrote that Parliament had legislated a mandatory minimum sentence of three years jail time for cases of serious sexual assault in 2007.
In fact, Parliament simply legislated against the use of conditional sentences in sexual assault cases. The minimum of three years is established in case law, namely the Alberta Court of Appeal case of R v. Sandercock.

In the May 28 issue of The Uniter, the story “Wondering where Winnipeg’s women are” (page 3) stated that civic campaign contributions are not tax-deductible to the contributor. The campaign expenses and contributions guide from the City of Winnipeg was cited as backing up that fact. The Uniter neglected to mention that there is a comparable cash rebate, also included in the guide, that individuals can receive from the City of Winnipeg for all civic campaign contributions they make.
