✘ Bill C-283 (Addictions Treatment)

Bill

Bill C-283, An Act to amend the Criminal Code and the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (addiction treatment in penitentiaries)

Vote

Nay.

Rationale

A registered health professional is better suited than a judge to determine whether one requires addiction treatment and what the suite of treatment should look like. This would remove classification of the inmate from the hands of CSC and into the hands of a judge with no knowledge of the inner workings of CSC.

Failed.

Bill Status

Bill Defeated.
