Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre has posted a letter on social media asking the federal government to “immediately” scrap “Liberal bail” and is urging the Prime Minister Mark Carney to vote for a Conservative motion that will rapidly pass the Jail Not Bail Act.
“C-242 (Jail Not Bail Act) repeals the failed Liberal ‘principle of restraint,’ strengthens bail for major violent and organized crimes like extortion and home invasion, requires judges to consider an accused’s criminal history and stops prolific offenders from vouching for other criminals,” the letter addressed to Carney said.
