#criminalcodeofcanada — Public Fediverse posts

Good morning from #ottawa Last night in the Senate Chamber I spoke to #BillC5, which deals with mandatory minimum sentences - a speech inspired, inspired, in part, by the story of a woman I met while I was touring federal women’s prison in #Edmonton. If you are interested in #criminallaw, #lawreform, #indigenous issues & #CriminalCodeofCanada you may find this interesting. https://youtu.be/4Qekwqc46GQ #SenCa #cdnpoli #lcjc #yeg

In the Chamber, we will continue with third reading debate on #BillC5, changes to the #CriminalCodeofCanada. It eliminates 20 current #mandatoryminimumsentences and extends the use of non-custodial #conditionalsentences. I plan to speak to the bill this week. We are expecting to vote this week - but in the #senateofcanada, expectations are sometimes confounded. #SenCA #cdnpoli
