Gabriel Ste-Marie Bloc Québécois
“I want to know if my colleague agrees with me about this bill. I think the Liberals made the bail rules too broad for crimes between partners by taking out the requirement for violence.”
“Mr. Speaker, does my colleague believe that the Liberals improperly broadened the scope of the provisions on bail conditions and other procedural safeguards that are applicable to intimate partner offences? This raises serious concerns in our view. The amendments I am referring to simply remove the violence criterion from the procedural safeguards for crimes committed between intimate partners, without replacing it with a targeted alternative criterion. What does my colleague think?”
