Conservative MP Larry Brock has launched a petition calling for the Liberal government to reform Canada’s bail system and repeal “soft-on-crime” legislation, citing an increase in violent crime over the last decade.
“Increasingly, it’s repeat, violent offenders committing these crimes; individuals who never should have been back on the streets in the first place,” the MP said in a July 3 statement. “That’s why I’m calling on the federal government to take immediate action.”
