The Ontario government has outlined a series of measures it wants to see from the federal government’s upcoming legislation meant to tighten bail reform and sentencing rules.
A joint letter sent Monday by the province’s solicitor general and attorney general is recommending a list of proposals for the federal government to increase public safety.
The list includes restoring mandatory minimum sentencing for serious crimes and removing bail availability for offenders charged with murder, terrorism, human trafficking, intimate partner violence, drug trafficking, criminal possession or use of restricted or prohibited firearms and violent carjackings and home invasions.
