Proposed federal bail reform changes cannot become ‘political football’: Eby

Premier David Eby is welcoming proposed federal bail reform changes that aim to keep repeat violent offenders off the streets, but also urged federal lawmakers to pass them as quickly as possible.

“This can’t be a bill that is partisan in nature. It needs to be all hands on deck to ensure that it is responsive to the concerns that we are seeing across the country, that premiers across the country have spoken out about and I don’t think it will be acceptable to anybody from any political party if this bill becomes a political football or gets stuck in Senate,” he said.

The agreement also includes broad language to consult on legislation and quickly move bills through the House of Commons if both parties agree.
