Bill C\u002D48 would keep all of the Libs’ 2019 changes, except one.
Take, for example, the case of Bobby-James Lavallee. Lavallee was released on bail in Edmonton earlier this month after allegedly hacking four people with a machete. Lavallee was out on bail at the time of the alleged attack and had a long history of violent convictions, including one for manslaughter in Regina in 2011.
Several Liberal-appointed senators have snarkily asked for empirical evidence that this fractional tightening of bail rules will actually reduce the crime rate. Otherwise, their sneering implication has been there is no justification for getting tougher on criminals.Article content To which I would respond: “What reliable evidence do you have, Senator, that releasing violent criminals back into society early has made our communities safer?”.That is what this entire four-year-old Liberal experiment in justice reform is based on — the preposterous belief, widespread among academics and criminal justice “experts,” that the fastest way to reduce crime is to release the greatest number of violent individuals back into their communities at the earliest possible opportunity.
However, Bill C-48 is in danger of bogging down in the Senate, even though it‘s just about the most minor change the Trudeau government could possibly propose. Civil liberties groups, plus Black and Indigenous legal activists, have accused the Trudeau government of perpetuating systemic discrimination by introducing even these tiny bail reforms. And they have insisted the number of Black and Indigenous offenders behind bars would increase with Bill C-48.
