Our Government is committed to ensuring that our criminal justice system is effective, consistent, and keeps communities and victims safe. Through Bill C-75, we are proposing several changes to increase the efficiency and safety of our justice system. These changes include:
- Streamlining bail processes, to reduce court delays and backlogs
- Restricting the use of preliminary inquiries, to reduce court delays
- Ensuring that witnesses and victims do not have to testify more than once
- Giving police and prosecutors new tools to deal with “Administration of Justice Offences” – offences against the judicial system itself, to reduce court backlogs
- Addressing the over-representation of Indigenous and marginalized Canadians in our criminal justice system
