A Conservative motion calling for anyone convicted of three serious offences to be denied bail or parole failed in the House of Commons, with the Liberals, Bloc Québécois, and New Democrats voting against it.
The Tory motion, introduced on Sept. 18 by Conservative MP Larry Brock, sought to prevent criminals convicted of three serious offences from getting bail, probation, parole, or house arrest. The motion also called for keeping “violent criminals” in jail for at least 10 years.
