Highly-awaited bail reform legislation will come by late June: minister
The West Block
“The short answer is yes,” he said when asked directly if legislation will come before the end of the spring legislative session, which is currently scheduled to end on June 23. That request followed premiers’ previous calls for Ottawa to create “reverse onus” measures for certain offences that would require a person seeking bail to prove why they should not stay behind bars.
Premiers’ calls for bail reform ramped up early this year after Const. Greg Pierzchala of the Ontario Provincial Police was killed while on duty in late December. Court documents show that one of the two people facing a first-degree murder charge in his death was initially denied bail in a separate case involving assault and weapons, but was later released.
