The Conservatives are pushing for changes to the Criminal Code they say would offer new protections to people who use force to defend themselves during a home invasion.

Ontario MP Sandra Cobena introduced a private member’s bill today that would change the Criminal Code so that use of force against an illegal intruder is presumed to be justified.
