From the conversation in the cockpit that you provide on the chart it seems to me they did not have the required light to continue below the MDA... They should have initiated an immediate Go-Around.

Again, and I said this at the beginning of this thread, it is a real shame Air Canada never equipped their older A320s with GPS so that this crew could have used GPS/WAAS do to a LPV approach. Doing a LOC approach in these weather conditions with a baro type VPath that may have been improperly programmed was looking for trouble.
