Question for the Canadian folks here

[Chadly]

I have an online gaming friend that lives in Ontario.

He got himself into a bit of trouble and has been charged with Aggravated Assault with a Weapon.

I did a little research, and have only been able to find out that the maximum penalty is 14 years imprisonment.

What I am looking for, is what would the minimum penalty be? I know that there are other things that contribute to the sentence, such as his criminal history and stuff like that.

Thanks in advance for the help.
