Bill C-325, An Act to amend the Criminal Code and the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (conditions of release and conditional sentences)

Vote

Nay.

Rationale

This Bill is inconsistent with our Government’s reforms and values. It runs contrary to the spirit of Bill C-5 and the desired goal of reducing the overrepresentation of Black, Indigenous, and marginalized communities in the criminal justice system. Specifically, the repeal of CSO restrictions in C-5 aimed to restore judicial discretion at sentencing, reduce the overreliance on incarceration, as appropriate, and encourage the diversion of less serious offending out of the criminal justice system. C-325 threatens these goals.

Failed.
