Ontario Premier Doug Ford on Dec. 29 echoed the words of Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Commissioner Thomas Carrique by calling for certain reforms to the federal justice system, particularly regarding bail applications, when commenting on the recent death of an on-duty OPP officer.

“Too many innocent people have lost their lives at the hands of dangerous criminals who should have been behind bars—not on our streets,” Ford said in a statement.
