Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre said on Dec. 30 that the Liberal government’s reform of bail policies have made the country less safe and should be reversed in light of the death of a police officer at the alleged hands of a repeat offender.
Canada should “keep the small number of repeat habitual violent offenders behind bars and when they are newly arrested, deny them bail until such time as their trials are completed in cases where the accused has a long track record of previous violent convictions,” Poilievre said in a press conference in Ottawa.
