Western premiers disappointed by delay to federal bail reform on repeat offenders
Premiers from Western Canada said Tuesday they are "extremely disappointed" in the federal government for not passing reforms to the bail system to target repeat offenders before Parliament rose last week for the summer.
Speaking at the conclusion of the western premiers' conference in Whistler, B.C., host Premier David Eby urged the federal government to prioritize passing the bill that would amend the Criminal Code as soon as possible.
