Minister Sean Fraser held a news conference in Ottawa to announce Bill C-14, the 'Bail and Sentencing Reform Act,' which introduces over 80 changes to the Criminal Code to tighten bail laws and increase penalties for violent and repeat offenders, including a reverse onus for those awaiting sentencing. The legislation aims to ensure bail is not viewed as a 'get out of jail free card' and prioritizes public safety as a paramount concern, while also restoring driving prohibitions for criminal negligence causing death. Fraser, joined by parliamentary secretary Patricia Lattanzio and MP Bill Blair, emphasized that new aggravating factors will lead to stiffer penalties, particularly for crimes against first responders, organized retail theft, and sexual crimes against children. The bill fundamentally shifts criminal law principles to ensure stricter consequences for dangerous behavior.
