A bill that would introduce a wide range of reforms into Canada’s federal criminal justice system has been tabled. Among other things, Bill C-75 would:
- Take measures to decrease significant court delays;
- Eliminate peremptory challenges of jurors;
- Remove “zombie” parts of the criminal code that have been found unconstitutional; and
- Increase the maximum sentence for repeat domestic abusers.
We will continue to keep an eye on the bill’s progress, if any, in the coming months.
