B.C. pushes bail reform forward in talks with feds
Sharma was apart of an unrelated announcement for Indigenous not-for-profit funding with the federal government on Feb. 3 when asked for an update.
While many factors account for the increase in reported violence on the streets of cities like Vancouver and Victoria, experts have in part blamed a “catch-and-release” bail system. The issue of repeat offending and violent stranger attacks is front of mind for many British Columbians, Eby said at the time.
“We expressed our urgent concerns about needing the federal government to come to the table and to make those amendments that are necessary to the Criminal Code provisions.”A select number of Indigenous-led non-profits will receive grants totalling $5 million to help them serve their communities.
