“It is positive that both reverse onus for repeat violent offenders who use a weapon, as well as strengthened language around judicial consideration of community safety, have been added to Bill C-48,” Saskatchewan Justice Minister and Attorney General Bronwyn Eyre said Friday in a statement.
The province said Bill C-48 includes language that follows Saskatchewan’s recommendation that a reverse onus be instituted for breach of release orders related to the possession of weapons.
