The letter originated in Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s office, and comes amid calls for reform after the 2022 killing of 28-year-old Const. Greg Pierzchala
Canada’s premiers are unanimously urging Ottawa to take “immediate action” to strengthen the country’s bail system.
The documents show a warrant had been issued for McKenzie’s arrest after he didn’t show up for a court date in August. The letter notes that the matter was “the subject of an intense discussion” at an October meeting of justice and public safety ministers from across the country, held in Nova Scotia. “There are a small number of prolific and violent offenders who continue to present a danger to society when released, and we need to find common-sense reforms that will address those cases,” he said.
