Prime Minister Carney says that his government will introduce legislation next week to crack down on crime, allowing for harsher sentencing and making bail much harder to get.
It will be part of the law and enforcement agenda that Carney introduced in his spring election campaign and includes a promise to hire 1,000 new RCMP officers.
Repeat offenders who have been charged with home invasions, violent car theft, assault, sexual assault, extortion, human trafficking will have to prove they deserve bail.
In place now: prosecutors have to prove that denying a suspect bail is justified.
Sentences will also be toughened for repeat offenders of home invasions, auto theft and organized crime.
