Justice committee  A large part of every police officer's job is a game of crime prevention. It's hard to break it out. A front-line officer will take a call, and then while taking the police report they will speak with the victim about preventative measures. Even with our school liaison officers,

Justice committee  This is something that we would support, yes.

Justice committee  The recklessness standard actually comes up with criminal negligence, in terms of, were you intentionally doing the act or were you reckless in doing the act? When we proceed with charges, we have to satisfy, at least in British Columbia, the charge approval standard and the reas
