What it means for you
Canadians convicted of the most serious crimes would face tougher conditions and likely longer time in maximum security institutions before being considered for release.
The debate · 3 points
Supporters say
- The bill would keep serious violent offenders out of medium-security institutions.
- A 2019 law lets offenders be placed in the 'least restrictive environment,' which supporters say is too lenient for the most dangerous prisoners.
- Supporters argue that recent changes to bail and sentencing have made the justice system too soft on crime.
