Our Government is committed to preventing crime and protecting Canadians. Below are just a few examples of what we are doing to make Canada an even safer place to live.
Repealing the Faint Hope Clause…
Offenders who commit murder will no longer be eligible to apply for early parole and will have to serve their full sentence. In the case of first degree murder the offender would have to serve at least 25 years before being eligible for parole.
Targeting Gangs and Organized Crime, Bill C-14…
Through tough, responsible action against criminal organizations our Government is working to keep Canadian streets safe and secure.
Since Bill C-14 became law any murder that is connected to organized crime automatically becomes a first-degree charge. Therefore anyone convicted now faces a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without eligibility of parole for 25 years.
This Bill also creates harsher punishments for offenders who use weapons and injure Police Officers.
