Conservatives introduce ‘Stand on Guard Act’ to change self-defence law

TORONTO — Conservative MPs introduced a private member’s bill Thursday aimed at strengthening legal protections for Canadians who use force against intruders inside their homes.

The proposed legislation, titled the Stand on Guard Act, would amend Section 34 of the Criminal Code to presume that force used against a person who knowingly and unlawfully enters a home is justified unless evidence proves otherwise.
