Conservative MP Frank Caputo tabled a private member’s bill on Feb. 9 that aims to take a first “small step” toward bail reform legislation at the federal level and keep violent repeat offenders off the streets.
“The problem we have is this: repeat violent offenders are generally a small group, but that small group is causing a disproportionate amount of victimization, especially as it relates to firearm offending,” Caputo told reporters on Parliament Hill.
