OTTAWA — Justice Minister David Lametti says he is giving"serious consideration" to reforming Canada's bail laws in response to a request from premiers to make changes.
Premiers called on the federal government to establish a"reverse onus" system for specific firearm offences that would require the person seeking bail to demonstrate why they should not remain behind bars. "I'm in favour of these good faith initiatives from every level of the government and every police force," he said."We must confront our issues together."
Poilievre is pushing the Trudeau government to reverse a law it passed in 2019 that updated bail provisions in the Criminal Code. It also required judges to consider the circumstances of people who are Indigenous or from vulnerable populations. Lametti said"misinformation" about bail is being spread."There are those who choose to stoke fear for political gain, rather than advancing any viable policies that will address the specific and narrow issues we face."
