It'll be interesting to see how the thief navigates his punishment:

The court has given Vallières 10 years to pay the fine, failing which he will serve six years in prison.

9 mill CAD in 10 years or 6 years in prison.

6 years ain't easy, but even at F500 STEM pay I couldn't do 9 mil in 10 years. I'd just bite the bullet and do the nickle + extra.
