I THINK IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE A THOROUGH HEARING WHEN A PERSON IS APPLYING FOR BAIL. YES IT IS MORE LABOUR INTENSIVE BUT THE PANEL OR JUDGE NEED AS MUCH INFORMATION ABOUT THE APPLICANT’S PAST LEGAL CHARGES AS POSSIBLE TO MAKE THE CORRECT DECISION TO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE AS WELL AS ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP THIS FIGHT UNTIL THE VOTE IS POSITIVE. THANK YOU FOR PRESENTING THIS BILL.
The liberal party’s response to Wynn’s Law is absurd! It is obvious that a human life has little to no value to some of our country’s representatives. To put the added time needed to fulfill the requirements of the bail hearing above the life of a Canadian citizen shows the total lack of concern or value placed on life. Would the Liberals have the same response if one of their loved ones had died because a “life long crimminal”, who should have been behind bars, was walking our streets because the judge, who was mandated to decide his fate, did not have all the facts in order to make an informed decision? I think “time” would not be considered a factor in that case!!
Our government representatives are elected to serve and protect the citizens of Canada. However, the Liberal Party’s lack of support for Wynn’s Law shows neither its dedication to sever me nor to protect me.
My sincere hope is that “common sense” will prevail and Wynn’s Law will come into affect to give the Canadian legal system as many tools as possible to ensure the safety of all Canadians.
I always thought that one criteria to consider in a hearing for judicial interim release (bail) was whether or not the accused posed a threat to the public. But not all crimes are the same, and some don’t pose a threat to the public, and I suppose in these cases the prosecutor would decide not to introduce such evidence. Therefore the difference here must be that it will become mandatory for prosecutors to introduce all criminal convictions, not discretionary, I don’t know for sure how easy this change in the law will be to implement but surely the extra effort is warranted. Wynn’s senseless death proves a solution is needed.
This is blatant partisan politics by the Liberal government, plain and simple. The Liberals do not want a common-sense, good idea like Wynn’s Law to be implemented by the opposition, simply because it’s not a Liberal bill.
Shame on all politicians that put their selfish personal or party desires before the good of the public.
Another example of why the public has such skepticism and distrust of politicians these days !
Wynn’s Law could not be misunderstood! It is plain, simple and an additional tool that assists a parole board to come to a knowledge based decision to permit, or reject releasing a criminal back into society. Without a COMPLETE history how can an critical and accurate decision be arrived at?? To arbitrarily just “not support the bill” particularly without offering an alternative is, to me, absurd. This is not a Liberal/Conservative spat. What’s wrong with putting society FIRST and not the criminal. I encourage individuals to truly examine the facts that generated Wynn’s Law. To thank “society” for being released on parole, this animal shot and killed another Mountie. Constable Wynn is sorely missed.
I fully support Wynn’s Law. It seems irrational that a verified criminal could be released into society without his criminal record being accessible for review prior to such release. The public is always urged to safeguard itself in other transactions such as purchase of a house, a car, or use of a contractor. There are routes to take for the public to investigate the past actions of individuals or companies so as to not be scammed. Yet here, we do not see the same care taken by “Public Servants” who the Public pays for through various channels to protect this same Public.
We ask for and expect protection from those who are able to do so, but NOT at the EXPENSE of LAYING DOWN one’s LIFE for us and NOT in such a reckless manner disregarding information that is easily available.
The loss of Constable Wynn is a travesty of Justice and our judicial system. Someone needs to be held accountable for this ignorant action of not reviewing past history of the parolee.
The rights of an individual must be preserved, but a process is needed to ensure the rights of the people. Due process is not wrong.

Yet another example that common sense is no longer common.

Listening to the Liberal Minister it amazes me how many words it takes to say nothing. I call it Bafflegab.
