The Conservative Party plans to introduce a motion in the House of Commons calling for the swift passage of legislation that it says would make it more difficult for violent and repeat offenders to receive bail.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said current federal bail laws have led to ongoing cases of repeat offenders victimizing Canadians, and that the government has been too slow to introduce legislation to reform the bail system. He said the Tories will introduce a motion that would quickly pass Bill C-242, also known as the Jail Not Bail Act, in order to address rising violent crime in Canada.
