No, I think the sentence in question is life, with no possibility of applying for parole for 25 years. I certainly hope it means he's never out.
On the other hand the fact it's a plea bargain does make you wonder. He's not the first case in Canada where the question of parole for a multiple murderer would cause uproar though (see Carla Homolka), and if it ever does come to a parole, I certainly do hope there is a big public outrage.
Another disturbing thought: imagine if this guy actually got to be a high-ranking officer in a real shooting conflict
