Bail reform targeting violent criminals coming next week, Carney says

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChLtXXpo4Ge1ReTEboVvTDg https://ift.tt/lpbqAJB Canada's federal government will propose bail reform legislation aimed at cracking down on violent crime and repeat offenders, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Thursday. The measures, which Carney said will be tabled in Parliament next week, will include reverse-onus bail for major crimes, which means an accused would have to prove why they deserve to be let out. The legislation will also include consecutive sentencing for major crimes and restrict conditional sentencing for a number of sexual offences, Carney said. The government will also invest $1.8 billion over four years in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and hire 1,000 new RCMP personnel.
