Canada: Conservatives table private member's bill on bail reform targeting repeat violent offenders – February 9, 2023

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre holds a news conference on Parliament Hill. He is joined by party MPs Frank Caputo, Raquel Dancho, and Rob Moore. Caputo outlines his newly introduced private member's bill, C-313, that takes aim at repeat offenders who commit serious offences including firearms related crimes. The bill proposes a new bail regime that will make it more difficult for those individuals to be released on bail. Bail decisions will remain at the discretion of the trial judge. (February 9, 2023)
