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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In place now: prosecutors have to prove that denying a suspect bail is justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sentences will also be toughened for repeat offenders of home invasions, auto theft and organized crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
