flag British Columbia backs new federal bail rules to prevent repeat intimate violence, citing Bailey McCourt’s case.

flag British Columbia’s Attorney General Niki Sharma supports new federal bail legislation aimed at preventing repeat intimate-partner violence, citing the case of Bailey McCourt, whose ex-husband was charged with murder after being released on bail following a prior assault. flag The proposed law would shift the burden of proof to the accused in violent offenses involving weapons, threats, or prior convictions within the past decade, and allow prosecutors to seek bail revocation after a guilty verdict. flag The reforms, part of broader efforts to strengthen public safety and address systemic gaps in bail decisions, are under review with ongoing discussions about implementation and impact.
