In 2006, the federal government proposed amendments to the Criminal Code to restrict access to conditional sentences (Bill C-9). Additionally, they increased the minimum sentences and added new minimums for certain firearms offences (Bill C-10).
ALS made representations before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights on both amendments. The briefs and transcripts for these can be viewed through the links below:
