Doug Ford is calling on the federal government to get tougher on such justice files as bail instead of being “weak” in the face of concerns about crime.
“This goes back to the federal government. They’re weak when it comes to making sure that when someone gets charged, that there’s mandatory sentences out there,” Mr. Ford told journalists in Clarington, Ont. “We know that the federal government controls the Criminal Code. So they need to toughen up rather than being weak and letting these people back out on the streets and saying they’re going to be reformed, and there they are, they are shooting up the streets again.”
At issue for B.C. has been Bill C-75, enacted in 2019, that called on police and judges to exercise a “principle of restraint” in setting bail conditions. Combined with Supreme Court of Canada rulings, the B.C. government has said it has become more difficult to keep repeat offenders awaiting trial in custody.
