PETITION TO REPEAL BILL C-5
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
-
Bill C-5 eliminates a number of mandatory minimum jail sentences for criminals who commit: robbery with a firearm, weapons trafficking, discharging firearm, possessing of a loaded firearm, and extortion with a firearm.
-
It also eliminates mandatory minimums in the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act that target drug dealers.
-
The bill allows for greater use of conditional sentence orders, such as house arrest (instead of jail time), for a number of offences, including prison breach, criminal harassment, sexual assault, kidnapping, and trafficking in persons.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to immediately withdraw or repeal Bill C-5, and stop favouring the criminals at the expense of law-abiding Canadians.
