Conservative Party MP and public safety critic Raquel Dancho tabled a motion in the House of Commons on Feb. 2 asking the government to reform its bail policies in light of rising crime and recent murders of police officers.

“Canadians across the country are growing increasingly alarmed by the violent crime wave impacting every major community and in rural communities across the country,” Dancho said in opening the debate on her motion.
