Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is promising to hand life sentences to major traffickers, emphasizing his tough-on-crime approach in the electoral campaign.
Individuals convicted of five or more counts of human trafficking would receive life sentences under a Tory government, Poilievre said while speaking on March 28 in Nanaimo, B.C. Those convicted of importing or exporting 10 or more illegal firearms, and those who traffic in fentanyl would meet the same fate.
