Mr. Speaker, I am not sufficiently familiar with the Jordan principle to respond to that, but I note that in this legislation, we are emphasizing the importance of increasing the severity of sentences for violent crimes and sex offenders, and informing our judicial system that we consider these matters with great seriousness. Judges should be very careful with these kinds of crimes when granting bail and considering release. We are implementing reverse onus provisions for many new crimes as well to ensure that our judicial system has more awareness of the danger that some of these individuals present and that we keep them off the streets.
In the House of Commons on November 18th, 2025. See this statement in context.
