CALGARY—A “hardline approach” on bail reform is needed when it comes to repeat offenders, Alberta’s justice minister said at the annual UCP convention, as public safety took centre stage on the opening day of the two-day event.
“This type of social disorder, I think is unacceptable. Once again, we cannot allow this to happen,” Mickey Amery said on Nov. 3, emphasizing that Alberta’s prosecutors should adopt a “firm stance” when granting bail, taking into account an individual’s history of serious or repeat offences.
